4 They bring charges against me, even though I love them and pray for them.
5 They pay me back with evil for the good things I do. They pay back my love with hatred.
6 Appoint an evil person to take my enemies to court. Let him stand at their right hand and bring charges against them.
7 When they are tried, let them be found guilty. May even their prayers judge them.
8 May their days be few. Let others take their places as leaders.
9 May their children's fathers die. May their wives become widows.
10 May their children be driven from their destroyed homes. May they wander around like beggars.
