When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.

May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.

May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;
May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.
their names blotted out from the next generation.
Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

May their sins always remain before the Lord,
that he may blot out their name from the earth.

but hounded to death the poor
and the needy and the brokenhearted.

it entered into his body like water,
into his bones like oil.
it entered into his body like water,
into his bones like oil.
And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;
May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.
May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil of me.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
But you, Sovereign Lord,
help me for your name’s sake;
out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
help me for your name’s sake;
out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
But do *thou* for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:
For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is wounded within me.

that you, Lord, have done it.

While they curse, may you bless;
may those who attack me be put to shame,
but may your servant rejoice.
