Psalms 108:8-18 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

14. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15. May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:

16. because he remembered not to show mercy,

17. But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.

18. And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
