Psalms 109:17-21
                                                                                                                                            
                                            17
                                        
                                                                                                    He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come on him;
he found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                            
                                            18
                                        
                                                                                                    He wore cursing as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,
into his bones like oil.
                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                            
                                            19
                                        
                                                                                                    May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                            
                                            20
                                        
                                                                                                    May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil of me.
                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                            
                                            21
                                        
                                                                                                    But you, O Sovereign Lord,
deal well with me for your name’s sake;
out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
