Psalms 109:14

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.

May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

¹⁵ May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.

¹⁶ For he never thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted, even to their death.

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.
