Psalms 109:18 Context
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. 20Let this be the reward of mine aduersaries from the Lord: and of them that speake euill against my soule.
