Psalms 109:17 Context
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. 19Let it be vnto him as the garment which couereth him: and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
