Psalms 109:6-20
Appoint an evil man to testify against him! May an accuser stand at his right side!When he is judged, he will be found guilty! Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.May his days be few! May another take his job!May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow!May his children roam around begging, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!May the creditor seize all he owns! May strangers loot his property!May no one show him kindness! May no one have compassion on his fatherless children!May his descendants be cut off! May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives!May his ancestors’ sins be remembered by the LORD! May his mother’s sin not be forgotten!May the LORD be constantly aware of them, and cut off the memory of his children from the earth!For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened.He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.He made cursing a way of life, so curses poured into his stomach like water and seeped into his bones like oil.May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually!May the LORD repay my accusers in this way, those who say evil things about me!
