¹⁵ May their sins always remain before^(A) the Lord,
    that he may blot out their name^(B) from the earth.

¹⁶ For he never thought of doing a kindness,
    but hounded to death the poor
    and the needy^(C) and the brokenhearted.^(D)
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
    may it come back on him.^(E)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
    may it be far from him.
