Psalms 109 — Context

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.

I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day; I am shaken off like a locust.

I am so starved my knees shake; I have turned into skin and bones.

I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads.
