⁹ Let his ^(A)children be fatherless
And his ^(B)wife a widow.
¹⁰ Let his ^(C)children wander about and beg;
And let them ^(D)seek sustenance ^[a]far from their ruined homes.
¹¹ Let ^(E)the creditor ^[b]seize all that he has,
And let ^(F)strangers plunder the product of his labor.
¹² Let there be none to ^[c](G)extend lovingkindness to him,
Nor ^(H)any to be gracious to his fatherless children.
¹³ Let his ^(I)posterity be ^[d]cut off;
In a following generation let their ^(J)name be blotted out.

¹⁴ Let ^(K)the iniquity of his fathers be remembered ^[e]before the Lord,
And do not let the sin of his mother be ^(L)blotted out.
¹⁵ Let ^(M)them be before the Lord continually,
That He may ^(N)cut off their memory from the earth;
¹⁶ Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,
But persecuted the ^(O)afflicted and needy man,
And the ^(P)despondent in heart, to ^(Q)put them to death.
¹⁷ He also loved cursing, so ^(R)it came to him;
And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.
¹⁸ But he ^(S)clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it ^(T)entered into ^[f]his body like water
And like oil into his bones.
¹⁹ Let it be to him as ^(U)a garment with which he covers himself,
And for a belt with which he constantly ^(V)girds himself.
^20 [g]Let this be the ^(W)reward of my accusers from the Lord,
And of those who ^(X)speak evil against my soul.
