NET Bible
"May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually!"
— Psalms 109:19, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.”
For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened.
He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.
He made cursing a way of life, so curses poured into his stomach like water and seeped into his bones like oil.
May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually!
May the LORD repay my accusers in this way, those who say evil things about me!
O sovereign LORD, intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation! Because your loyal love is good, deliver me!
For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart beats violently within me.
