Psalms 109:7

When he is judged, he will be found ¹  guilty! ²  Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.

When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him.

When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, And let his prayer become sin.

When his case is called for judgment, let him be pronounced guilty. Count his prayers as sins.

When he's judged, let the verdict be, "Guilty," and when he prays, let his prayer turn to sin.

When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.

When he is tried, let him be found guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin.

When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin.

When he is judged, he will be found ¹  guilty! ²  Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.

¹ tn The prefixed verbal form could be taken as a jussive, but the use of the imperfect form in the following line suggests that v. 7 anticipates the outcome of the accusation envisioned in v. 6.

² tn Heb “he will go out [as] a criminal” (that is, guilty).
