Psalms 109:17 in Context — Psalms 109
15 Qu’ils soient toujours présents devant l’Éternel, Et qu’il retranche de la terre leur mémoire,
16 Parce qu’il ne s’est pas souvenu d’exercer la miséricorde, Parce qu’il a persécuté le malheureux et l’indigent, Jusqu’à faire mourir l’homme au cœur brisé!
17 Il aimait la malédiction: qu’elle tombe sur lui! Il ne se plaisait pas à la bénédiction: qu’elle s’éloigne de lui!
18 Qu’il revête la malédiction comme son vêtement, Qu’elle pénètre comme de l’eau dans son intérieur, Comme de l’huile dans ses os!
19 Qu’elle lui serve de vêtement pour se couvrir, De ceinture dont il soit toujours ceint!
