Psalms 109:16-20

16Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the 1afflicted and needy man, And the 2despondent in heart, to 3put them to death.17He also loved cursing, so 4it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.18But he 5clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it 6entered into 7his body like water And like oil into his bones.19Let it be to him as 8a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly 9girds himself.20 10Let this be the 11reward of my accusers from the Lord, And of those who 12speak evil against my soul.
