King James Version with Apocrypha
"Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually."
— Psalms 109:19, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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.”
“May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually!”
“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.”
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
