13. Let his descendants be cut off. Let their name be blotted out in the next generation.
14. Let the iniquity of his ancestors be remembered before Yahweh, and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.
15. Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth,
16. because he did not remember to show loyal love, but he pursued anyone, poor or needy or brokenhearted, to slay them.
17. Because he loved cursing, let it come upon him. Because he did not delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
18. Because he wore a curse as his robe, let it enter his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
19. May it be for him like a garment in which he wraps, and a belt he continually wears.
20. Let this be the punishment for my accusers from Yahweh, even those who speak evil against my life.
21. But you, O Yahweh my Lord, deal with me for your name’s sake. Because your loyal love is good, deliver me,
22. for I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23. Like a lengthening shadow I am passing away; I am shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees buckle from fasting, and my body grows lean without fat.
25. And so I am a disgrace to them; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26. Help me, O Yahweh my God; save me according to your loyal love,
27. that they may know that this is your hand, that you, O Yahweh, you have done it.
