Psalms 109:8

6 Set over him a wicked man; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayer be regarded as sin.

May his days be few; may another take his position.

9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.

10 May his children wander as beggars, seeking sustenance far from their ruined homes.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
