Old Testament

New Testament

Psalms 109:3-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. Hateful words surround me;they attack me for no reason.

4. Instead of returning my love, they accuse me—but I am at prayer.

5. They repay me evil for good,hatred in return for my love.

6. "Appoint a wicked person to be against this person," they say,"an accuser to stand right next to him.

7. When the sentence is passed, let him be found guilty—let his prayer be found sinful!

8. Let his days be few;let someone else assume his position.

9. Let his children become orphans;let his wife turn into a widow.

10. Let his children wander aimlessly, begging,driven out of their ruined homes.

11. Let a creditor seize everything he owns;let strangers plunder his wealth.

12. Let no one extend faithful love to him;let no one have mercy on his orphans.
