May his
1posterity be cut off; may his
2name be blotted out in the second generation!
14
May
3the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be
4blotted out!
15
5Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may
6cut off the memory of them from the earth!
16
For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued
7the poor and needy and
8the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17
9He loved to curse; let curses come upon him! He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him!
18
He
10clothed himself with cursing as his coat; may it
11soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones!
19
May it be like a garment that he wraps around him, like a belt that he puts on every day!
20
May this be the reward of my
12accusers from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my life!
21
But you, O GOD my Lord, deal on my behalf
13for your name's sake; because your
14steadfast love is good, deliver me!
22
For I am
15poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.
23
I am gone like
16a shadow at evening; I am
17shaken off like a locust.
