 Throughout the day, my opponents harass me; those who attack me about my well-known cause criticize me as an unjust scourge. They will all eventually perish, but you will stay alive. All of them will eventually wear out, just like a piece of clothing. You will clothe them and they will be cast aside.But you, Lord, remain unchanged, and your generations will never be divided by harsh words of my aggression, which surround me. They attacked me for no reason. In return for my kindness, they take advantage of me, but I am a man of passionate appeal. He loved to utter curses, wishing the dreadful curse of discriminating law would befall him. He derived no pleasure in uttering blessings, and may it be far from him. Appoint someone to accuse him at his right hand. When he is evaluated, make him feel ashamed and let his appeals be met with complete indifference. May he have few days of sadness, and may another take his place as the driver of his vehicle. May his sequelae be without a mother and his wife a widow; may he be cursed with a short life and a terrible death. May his discontinued aftereffects be wandering vagrants; may they be hurled from their ruined homes. A creditor may take everything he has, and non-natives may loot the fruits of his labor. No one should be kind to him or show him any pity, because he will have no family left to help him. May his descendants be cut off and their names erased from the next generation. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the transgressions of his mother never be wiped away. To keep their iniquity before the Lord, and cut off their memory from the world. He had a foul temper, and his clothing was stained with the salty residue of his profanity. It seemed to flow through his body like water and oil, helping him to move quickly and with surprising force. May these words of curse be trouble to those who speak ill of me, as a sign of their payment to me. But you deal with me fairly, O Lord, for your own sake, rescue me. O Lord my God, please help me become a better person in line with your love. Let them understand that it was your hand that did it. When I go to the crowded gathering, I will enthusiastically praise the Lord with my mouth. He stands at the side of the one who is struggling, helping to recover his culture from those who would harm him.
