Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;
15
Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:
16
Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.
17
And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.
18
And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;
19
Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.
20
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21
But do *thou* for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:
22
For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23
I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;
24
My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;
