Psalms

Psalm 109:6–15

6Set over him a wicked man;

let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7When he is tried, let him be found guilty,

and may his prayer be regarded as sin.

8May his days be few;

may another take his position.a

9May his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow.

10May his children wander as beggars,

seeking sustenanceb far from their ruined homes.

11May the creditor seize all he owns,

and strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

12May there be no one to extend kindness to him,

and no one to favor his fatherless children.

13May his descendants be cut off;

may their name be blotted out from the next generation.

14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD,

and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

15May their sins always remain before the LORD,

that He may cut off their memory from the earth.
