  • 109:7 When he is tried, may the verdict be guilty, and may his very prayer count as sin. 3
  • 109:6 Put someone wicked in charge of him; may an accuser take his stand at his right side. 2
  • 109:16 For he never thought to show loyal love; he hounded the poor and needy and the heartbroken to their death. 2
  • 109:8 May his life be short, and may someone else take over his position. 1
  • 109:9 May his children lose their father and his wife be left a widow. 1
  • 109:10 May his children roam about as beggars, searching for food far from their ruined homes. 1
  • 109:11 May the moneylender snatch up all he owns, and strangers carry off what he worked for. 1
  • 109:12 May no one keep showing him loyal love, and no one take pity on his orphaned children. 1
  • 109:13 May his line come to an end, their name erased within a generation. 1
  • 109:14 May the LORD keep in mind the guilt of his ancestors, and may his mother's sin never be erased. 1
  • 109:15 May their sins stay always before the LORD, and may he wipe out all memory of them from the earth. 1
  • 109:17 He loved to curse, and the curse has come back on him; he had no wish to bless, and blessing has stayed far from him. 1
  • 109:18 He put on cursing as his clothing; it seeped like water into his inner being and soaked like oil deep into his bones. 1
  • 109:19 May it be the cloak he wraps around him, the belt he ties on every day. 1
  • 109:20 May this be how the LORD repays my accusers, those who speak evil against me. 1
