Psalm 109:16-20 “because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them. Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him. He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones. Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him. This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.”

Here David wants a reversal. He wants the ungodly to experience the very things that they have been guilty of! “Let it be to him as a clothing with which he covers himself.”

We are reminded here of how we are supposed to be as godly people. We should be kind. We should try to care for and help the needy and the depressed. We shouldn’t make things worse for others (cursing them), but we should try to make things better (blessing them). And we certainly shouldn’t allow hatred, evil, and cursing to define us (cover ourselves with them)!
