Psalm 109:16-18
English Standard Version
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued (A)the poor and needy
and (B)the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 (C)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 (D)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it (E)soak[c] into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
