Psalms 109:14-28
-
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
-
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
-
16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
-
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
-
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
-
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
-
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
-
21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
-
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
-
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
-
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
-
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
-
26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
-
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
-
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
