New Testament

Psalms 109:18-24 New Living Translation (NLT)

18. Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing,or the water he drinks,or the rich food he eats.

19. Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing;may they be tied around him like a belt.”

20. May those curses become the lord’s punishmentfor my accusers who speak evil of me.

21. But deal well with me, O Sovereign lord,for the sake of your own reputation!Rescue mebecause you are so faithful and good.

22. For I am poor and needy,and my heart is full of pain.

23. I am fading like a shadow at dusk;I am brushed off like a locust.

24. My knees are weak from fasting,and I am skin and bones.
