Psalms 109:6-20
They say,“ Get an evil person to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial.When his case comes up for judgment, let him be pronounced guilty. Count his prayers as sins.Let his years be few; let someone else take his position.May his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow.May his children wander as beggars and be driven from their ruined homes.May creditors seize his entire estate, and strangers take all he has earned.Let no one be kind to him; let no one pity his fatherless children.May all his offspring die. May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.May the Lord never forget the sins of his fathers; may his mother’s sins never be erased from the record.May the Lord always remember these sins, and may his name disappear from human memory.For he refused all kindness to others; he persecuted the poor and needy, and he hounded the brokenhearted to death.He loved to curse others; now you curse him. He never blessed others; now don’t you bless him.Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing, or the water he drinks, or the rich food he eats.Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing; may they be tied around him like a belt.”May those curses become the Lord’s punishment for my accusers who speak evil of me.
