Psalms 109:8

8 May his days be few!
The prefixed verbal forms (except those with vav [ו] consecutive) in vv. 8–20 are taken as jussives of prayer. Note the distinct jussive forms used in vv. 12–13, 15, 19.

May another take his job!
The Hebrew noun פְּקֻדָּה (pequddah) can mean “charge” or “office,” though BDB 824 s.v. suggests that here it refers to his possessions.
