⁹ May his ^(A)children be fatherless,
And his ^(B)wife a widow.
¹⁰ May his ^(C)children wander about and beg;
And may they ^(D)seek sustenance ^[a]far from their ruined homes.
¹¹ May ^(E)the creditor ^[b]seize everything that he has,
And may ^(F)strangers plunder the product of his labor.
¹² May there be none to ^[c](G)extend kindness to him,
Nor ^(H)any to be gracious to his fatherless children.
¹³ May his ^(I)descendants be ^[d]eliminated;
May their ^(J)name be wiped out in a following generation.

¹⁴ May ^(K)the guilt of his fathers be remembered ^[e]before the Lord,
And do not let the sin of his mother be ^(L)wiped out.
¹⁵ May ^(M)they be before the Lord continually,
So that He may ^(N)eliminate their memory from the earth;
¹⁶ Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the ^(O)afflicted and needy person,
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 ^[f]his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
¹⁹ May it be to him as ^(U)a garment with which he covers himself,
And as a belt which he constantly ^(V)wears around himself.
²⁰ May this be the ^(W)reward of my accusers from the Lord,
And of those who ^(X)speak evil against my soul.
