Psalm 109

¹⁴ May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

¹⁵ May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.

¹⁶ For he never thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted, even to their death.

¹⁷ The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.

¹⁸ The cursing that he wore like a coat, may it soak into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
