Young's Literal Translation
Psalm 109:16-18
Young's Literal Translation
16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,
17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.

New International Version
Psalm 109:16-18
New International Version
16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
but hounded to death the poor
and the needy(A) and the brokenhearted.(B)
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come back on him.(C)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing(D) as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,(E)
into his bones like oil.
