Psalms 109:15

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

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

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.

17 The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.

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.
