Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.Let his children wander as beggars, searching for food far from their demolished homes.Let a creditor seize all he has; let strangers plunder what he has worked for.Let no one show him kindness, and let no one be gracious to his fatherless children.Let the line of his descendants be cut off; let their name be blotted out in the next generation.Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.Let their sins always remain before the LORD, and let him remove all memory of them from the earth.For he did not think to show kindness, but pursued the suffering, needy, and brokenhearted in order to put them to death.He loved cursing— let it fall on him; he took no delight in blessing— let it be far from him.He wore cursing like his coat— let it enter his body like water and go into his bones like oil.Let it be like a robe he wraps around himself, like a belt he always wears.Let this be the LORD’s payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.But you, LORD, my Lord, deal kindly with me for your name’s sake; because your faithful love is good, rescue me.For I am suffering and needy; my heart is wounded within me.I fade away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.My knees are weak from fasting, and my body is emaciated.I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.Help me, LORD my God; save me according to your faithful loveso they may know that this is your hand and that you, LORD, have done it.Though they curse, you will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but your servant will rejoice.My accusers will be clothed with disgrace; they will wear their shame like a cloak.I will fervently thank the LORD with my mouth; I will praise him in the presence of many.For he stands at the right hand of the needy to save him from those who would condemn him.
