Psalms 109 — Context

16

Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted and needy man, And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.

17

He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

18

But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water And like oil into his bones.

19

Let it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself.

20

Let this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my soul.

21

But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;

22

For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
