Psalm 109:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 For he did not remember to show kindness
but pursued the poor and needy
and the brokenhearted to their death.(A)
17 He loved to curse; let curses come on him.
He did not like blessing; may it be far from him.(B)
18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it soak into his body like water,
like oil into his bones.(C)
