Psalm 109:9-20

NASB

Psalm 109:9-20

^{Tools
9}

Let his ^(A)children be fatherless
And his ^(B)wife a widow.

^{Tools
10}

Let his ^(C)children wander about and beg;
And let them ^(D)seek sustenance ^(a)far from their ruined homes.

^{Tools
11}

Let ^(E)the creditor ^(b)seize all that he has,
And let ^(F)strangers plunder the product of his labor.

^{Tools
12}

Let there be none to ^(c)^(G)extend lovingkindness to him,
Nor ^(H)any to be gracious to his fatherless children.

^{Tools
13}

Let his ^(I)posterity be ^(d)cut off;
In a following generation let their ^(J)name be blotted out.

^{Tools
14}

Let ^(K)the iniquity of his fathers be remembered ^(e)before the Lord,
And do not let the sin of his mother be ^(L)blotted out.

^{Tools
15}

Let ^(M)them be before the Lord continually,
That He may ^(N)cut off their memory from the earth;

^{Tools
16}

Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,
But persecuted the ^(O)afflicted and needy man,
And the ^(P)despondent in heart, to ^(Q)put them to death.

^{Tools
17}

He also loved cursing, so ^(R)it came to him;
And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

^{Tools
18}

But he ^(S)clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it ^(T)entered into ^(f)his body like water
And like oil into his bones.

^{Tools
19}

Let it be to him as ^(U)a garment with which he covers himself,
And for a belt with which he constantly ^(V)girds himself.

^{Tools
20}

^(g)Let this be the ^(W)reward of my accusers from the Lord,
And of those who ^(X)speak evil against my soul.
