Psalm 109:11-15 Part 1 of 2

"May creditors seize his entire estate,
    and strangers take all he has earned.
Let no one be kind to him;
    let no one pity his fatherless children.
May all his offspring die.
    May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.
May the LORD never forget the sins of his fathers;
    may his mother's sins never be erased from the record.
May the LORD always remember these sins,
    and may his name disappear from human memory."
