LET HIS DAYS BE FEW AND LET ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE

 PSALM 109:6-20

 

SET THOU A WICKED 

MAN OVER HIM: 

AND 

LET SATAN STAND AT HIS RIGHT HAND.

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.
LET HIS CHILDREN BE FATHERLESS,

 AND HIS WIFE A WIDOW. 

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. 

LET THERE BE NONE 

TO EXTEND MERCY UNTO HIM: 

NEITHER LET THERE BE ANY 

TO FAVOUR HIS 

FATHERLESS CHILDREN. 

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; 

AND 

LET NOT THE SIN OF HIS 

MOTHER BE BLOTTED OUT. 

LET THEM BE BEFORE THE LORD CONTINUALLY, 

THAT HE MAY CUT OFF 

THE MEMORY OF THEM 

FROM THE EARTH. 

BECAUSE THAT HE REMEMBERED 

NOT TO SHEW MERCY, 

BUT PERSECUTED 

THE POOR AND NEEDY MAN, 

THAT HE MIGHT EVEN SLAY 

THE BROKEN IN HEART.
AS HE LOVED CURSING, 

SO LET IT COME UNTO HIM: 

AS HE DELIGHTED 

NOT IN BLESSING, 

SO LET IT BE FAR FROM HIM. 

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. 

LET IT BE UNTO HIM 

AS THE GARMENT WHICH 

COVERETH HIM, 

AND

 FOR 

A GIRDLE WHEREWITH HE 

IS GIRDED CONTINUALLY. 

LET THIS BE THE REWARD OF MINE

ADVERSARIES FROM THE LORD,

AND OF THEM THAT 

SPEAK EVIL AGAINST MY SOUL.

LOVE
