Psalm 109:12
“Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 109Meaning
The severity shocks precisely because mercy is withheld; it must not become a rule against caring for vulnerable dependents.
Imprecatory judicial appeal
The speaker voices severe curses and asks God to answer hostile accusation with judgment.
Read carefully
The verse does not forbid compassion or protection for dependents.
Reflection
Maintain humane treatment regardless of conflict.
