Psalm 109:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 May cursing clothe him like a robe;
may it enter his belly like water,
his bones like oil.
19 May it be near as the clothes he wears,
as the belt always around him.
20 [a]May this be the reward for my accusers from the Lord,
for those speaking evil against me.
