Psalms 109:17 in Context — Psalms 109

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.

19 Séale como vestido con que se cubra, y en lugar de cinto con que se ciña siempre.
