- Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
- Let them be before the LORD continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth;
- Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted and needy man, And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.
- He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.
- But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water And like oil into his bones.
|
- 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 cut off the memory of them from the earth.
- For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.
- He loved to pronounce a curse-- may it come on him; he found no pleasure in blessing-- may it be far from him.
- He wore cursing as his garment; it entered into his body like water, into his bones like oil.
|
- Let it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself.
- Let this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my soul.
- But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;
- For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
- I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust.
|
- May it be like a cloak wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.
- May this be the LORD's payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me.
- But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for your name's sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
- For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
- I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
|
- My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.
- I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head.
|
- My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.
- I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
