Psalm 109:17-19

Help Me, O Lord My God

17 v He loved to curse; let curses come 1 upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far 2 from him!
18 He w clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it x soak 3 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!
