Psalms 109:4-20

Brenton(i) 4 (108:4) Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray. 5 (108:5) And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 6 (108:6) Set thou a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand. 7 (108:7) When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin. 8 (108:8) Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer. 9 (108:9) Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow. 10 (108:10) Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations. 11 (108:11) Let his creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labours. 12 (108:12) Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children. 13 (108:13) Let his children be given up to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out. 14 (108:14) Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 (108:15) Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth. 16 (108:16) Because he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and that to slay him that was pricked in the heart. 17 (108:17) He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him. 18 (108:18) Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones. 19 (108:19) Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually. 20 (108:20) This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
