Psalms 109:6-20

⁶Send the Evil One to accuse my accusing judge; dispatch Satan to prosecute him.

⁷When he''s judged, let the verdict be, "Guilty," and when he prays, let his prayer turn to sin.c

⁸Give him a short life, and give his job to somebody else.d

⁹Make orphans of his children, dress his wife in widow''s weeds;

¹⁰Turn his children into begging street urchins, evicted from their homes--homeless.

¹¹May the bank foreclose and wipe him out, and strangers, like vultures, pick him clean.

¹²May there be no one around to help him out, no one willing to give his orphans a break.

¹³Chop down his family tree so that nobody even remembers his name.

¹⁴But erect a memorial to the sin of his father, and make sure his mother''s name is there, too--

¹⁵Their sins recorded forever before GOD, but they themselves sunk in oblivion.

¹⁶That''s all he deserves since he was never once kind, hounded the afflicted and heartbroken to their graves.

¹⁷Since he loved cursing so much, let curses rain down; Since he had no taste for blessing, let blessings flee far from him.

¹⁸He dressed up in curses like a fine suit of clothes; he drank curses, took his baths in curses.

¹⁹So give him a gift--a costume of curses; he can wear curses every day of the week!

²⁰That''s what they''ll get, those out to get me--an avalanche of just deserts from GOD.
