Psalm 109:17-20
English Standard Version
17 (A)He loved to curse; let curses come[a] upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far[b] from him!
18 He (B)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it (C)soak[c] into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!
20 May this be the reward of my (D)accusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life!
