— Psalms 109:19, Bible in Basic English
“Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.”
“Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually. ”
“Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.”

Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.
As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.
Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.
But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.
For I am poor and in need, and my heart is wounded in me.
