Psalms 109:17 in Context — Psalms 109

15 [Porém que tais coisas] estejam sempre perante o SENHOR, e corte-se a lembrança deles da terra.

16 Porque ele não se lembrou de fazer o bem; ao invés disso, perseguiu ao homem humilde e necessitado, e ao de coração quebrado, para [o] matar.

17 Já que ele amou a maldição, então que ela lhe sobrevenha; e já que ele não quis a bênção, que esta se afaste dele.

18 E ele seja revestido de maldição, como se lhe fosse sua roupa, como água dentro do seu corpo, e como óleo em seus ossos.

19 Que ela seja como uma roupa com que ele se cubra, e como cinto com que ele sempre põe ao seu redor.
