Psalms 109:18
Let it come into his bowels like water - Houbigant thinks this is an allusion to the waters of jealousy; and he is probably right, - the bitter waters that produce the curse. See Numbers 5:18.
16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the abroken in heart.
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the abroken in heart.
17 aAs he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
So let it aenter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
So let it aenter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
