Psalms 109:16 Context
14Let the iniquitie of his fathers be remembred with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be blotted out. 15Let them be before the Lord continually: that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 16Because that he remembred not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poore and needy man: that he might euen slay the broken in heart. 17As he loued cursing, so let it come vnto him: as hee delighted not in blessing, so let it be farre from him. 18As he clothed himselfe with cursing like as with his garment: so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
