18 He (A)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
    may it (B)soak[a] into his body like water,
    like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
    like a belt that he puts on every day!
20 May this be the reward of my (C)accusers from the Lord,
    of those who speak evil against my life!
