Psalms 109:11

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.

May the creditor seize all he owns, and strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

12 May there be no one to extend kindness to him, and no one to favor his fatherless children.

13 May his descendants be cut off; may their name be blotted out from the next generation.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
