Psalms 109:17 - Psalms 109:27
17 As they loved cursing, so let it come upon them; as they delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from them.
18 As they clothed themselves with cursing like as with their garments, so let it come into their bowels like water, and like oil into their bones.
19 Let it be unto them as a garment which covereth them, and for a girdle wherewith they are girded continually.
20 This shall be the reward of mine adversaries, from the Lord; and of them who speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou deliver me, O Lord my God, for thy name's sake; because thy mercy is good, therefore deliver thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth; I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them; when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God; oh save me according to thy mercy;
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
