Psalm 109:16-18
Christian Standard Bible
16 For he did not think to show kindness,
but pursued the suffering, needy, and brokenhearted
in order to put them to death.(A)
17 He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.(B)
18 He wore cursing like his coat—
let it enter his body like water
and go into his bones like oil.(C)
