Psalms 109:6-20
Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand.When he is judged, let him be found guilty, 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 continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor.Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor 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 before the Lord, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.Let them be continually before the Lord, That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;Because he did not remember to show 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 to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones.Let it be to him like the garment which covers him, And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.Let this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person.

Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,Who said,“ Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.”O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind!As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O Lord.Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.

Psalms 35:1-8
Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me.Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help.Also draw out the spear, And stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul,“ I am your salvation.”Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor Who seek after my life; Let those be turned back and brought to confusion Who plot my hurt.Let them be like chaff before the wind, And let the angel of the Lord chase them.Let their way be dark and slippery, And let the angel of the Lord pursue them.For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, Which they have dug without cause for my life.Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, And let his net that he has hidden catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall.
