Psalms 108:3-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.

4. Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.

5. And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.

6. Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.

7. When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.

8. May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.

9. May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10. Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.

11. May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.

12. May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.

13. May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
