- 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.
|
- 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 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.
