  1. Psalm 109:20 For being destitute of man’s help, he fully trusted in the Lord, that he would deliver him.

18 He wore cursing(A) as his garment;
    it entered into his body like water,(B)
    into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped(C) about him,
    like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment(D) to my accusers,
    to those who speak evil(E) of me.
