Psalms 109:16 in Context — Psalms 109

14 Venga en memoria cerca de Jehová la maldad de sus padres, y el pecado de su madre no sea borrado.

15 Estén siempre delante de Jehová, y él corte de la tierra su memoria.

16 Por cuanto no se acordó de hacer misericordia, y persiguió al hombre afligido y menesteroso y quebrantado de corazón, para matar[lo].

17 Y amó la maldición, y vínole; y no quiso la bendición, y ella se alejó de él.

18 Y vistióse de maldición como de su vestido, y entró como agua en sus entrañas, y como aceite en sus huesos.
