“Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.”
King James Version (KJV)
109:17 Delighted not - In desiring and promoting the welfare of others.
109:18 Garment - Which a man wears constantly. Like water - Water in the cavity of the belly, between the bowels, is almost certain death. And oil soaking into any of the bones, will soon utterly destroy it.
109:20 That speak evil against my soul - With design to take away my life.
109:21 Is good - Above the mercy of all the creatures.
Let it be vnto him as the garment which couereth him: and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
