5 They bring evil upon me in return for good, And hatred in return for my love."
6 Post a wicked person over him, And let an adversary stand at his right hand."
7 When he is judged, let him go forth condemned, And let his prayer be seen as sin."
8 May his days come to be few; May his supervision be taken by another.
9 May his sons become orphans, And his wife a widow."
10 May his sons rove, yea rove so that they must beg, And may they be driven out from their deserted homes."
11 May the creditor confiscate all that he has, And may aliens plunder the fruit of his labor."
12 There must not be anyone being indulgent with kindness to him, And there must not be anyone showing grace to his orphans."
13 May his posterity be cut off; In the generation following, may his name be wiped out."
14 May the depravity of his fathers be remembered before Yahweh, And the sin of his mother, let it not be wiped out."
15 Let these be in front of Yahweh continually, And let their family's remembrance be cut off from the earth,
16 Because he did not remember to show kindness, And he persecuted the humbled man and the needy one And the sore of heart, to put him to death."
17 He loved malediction; may it come back on him. He has not delighted in blessing; may it stay far from him.
18 He clothed himself with malediction as his coat; May it enter within him like water, And like oil into his bones."
19 May it be upon him like a cloak with which he is muffled, And like a cordon that he girds about him continually."
20 May this be the wage for my adversaries from Yahweh, And for those speaking evil against my soul."
