18 But he (A)clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it (B)entered into [a]his body like water
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him as (C)a garment with which he covers himself,
And for a belt with which he constantly (D)girds himself.
20 [b]Let this be the (E)reward of my accusers from the Lord,
And of those who (F)speak evil against my soul.
