May the Lord do all this to my accusers and to those who speak evil against my life.
May this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, of those who speak evil against my life!

This is the Lord’s punishment upon my enemies who tell lies about me and threaten me with death.
Send the Evil One to accuse my accusing judge; dispatch Satan to prosecute him. When he’s judged, let the verdict be “Guilty,” and when he prays, let his prayer turn to sin. Give him a short life, and give his job to somebody else. Make orphans of his children, dress his wife in widow’s black; Turn his children into begging street urchins, evicted from their homes—homeless. May the bank foreclose and wipe him out, and strangers, like vultures, pick him clean. May there be no one around to help him out, no one willing to give his orphans a break. Chop down his family tree so that nobody even remembers his name. But erect a memorial to the sin of his father, and make sure his mother’s name is there, too— Their sins recorded forever before God, but they themselves sunk in oblivion. That’s all he deserves since he was never once kind, hounded the afflicted and heartbroken to their graves. Since he loved cursing so much, let curses rain down; Since he had no taste for blessing, let blessings flee far from him. He dressed up in curses like a fine suit of clothes; he drank curses, took his baths in curses. So give him a gift—a costume of curses; he can wear curses every day of the week! That’s what they’ll get, those out to get me— an avalanche of just deserts from God.
Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the Lord, and of those who speak evil against my soul.

May the Lord repay my accusers in this way, those who say evil things about me.

May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me.
May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me.
Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person.
Let this be what the Lord pays to those who speak against me and wish bad things would happen to me.
May those curses become the Lord’s punishment for my accusers who speak evil of me.
