As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment,
so let it come into his bowels like water,
and like oil into his bones.

Because that he remembered not to shew mercy,
but persecuted the poor and needy man,
that he might even slay the broken in heart.

Let his posterity be cut off;
and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD;

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:
let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;
and let the strangers spoil his labour.

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned:
and let his prayer become sin.
Let his days be few;
and let another take his office.

For my love they are my adversaries:
but I give myself unto prayer.
And they have rewarded me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.

Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:
they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
Through God we shall do valiantly:
for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Who will bring me into the strong city?
who will lead me into Edom?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?
and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

God hath spoken in his holiness;
I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;
Judah is my lawgiver;
