Psalm 109:17-20
New King James Version
17 (A)As he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
So let it (B)enter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
20 Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers,
And to those who speak evil against my person.

17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come back on him.(A)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing(B) as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,(C)
into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped(D) about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment(E) to my accusers,
to those who speak evil(F) of me.
