Psalm 109:9-20
New King James Version
9 (A)Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
10 Let his children [a]continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them [b]seek their bread also from their desolate places.
11 (B)Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 (C)Let his [c]posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their (D)name be blotted out.
14 (E)Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
And let not the sin of his mother (F)be blotted out.
15 Let them be continually before the Lord,
That He may (G)cut off the memory of them from the earth;
16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the (H)broken in heart.
17 (I)As he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
So let it (J)enter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
20 Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers,
And to those who speak evil against my person.
