Psalms 109:6-16 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

6. Choose some corrupt judge to try my enemy,and let one of his own enemies accuse him.

7. May he be tried and found guilty;may even his prayer be considered a crime!

8. May his life soon be ended;may someone else take his job!

9. May his children become orphans,and his wife a widow!

10. May his children be homeless beggars;may they be driven from the ruins they live in!

11. May his creditors take away all his property,and may strangers get everything he worked for.

12. May no one ever be kind to himor care for the orphans he leaves behind.

13. May all his descendants die,and may his name be forgotten in the next generation.

14. May the Lord remember the evil of his ancestorsand never forgive his mother's sins.

15. May the Lord always remember their sins,but may they themselves be completely forgotten!

16. That man never thought of being kind;he persecuted and killedthe poor, the needy, and the helpless.
