Psalms 109:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:19

Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him
Let him be surrounded on all sides with the wrath of God; and let it be visible to all, as a man's garment on him is: see ( Isaiah 66:24 ) .

And for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually;
let him be in the utmost straits and distress, being encompassed about with the curse and wrath of God; and let that stick close unto him as a man's belt does; and let him not be able to get clear of it, or extricate himself out of it, as no man can on whom it is.

Psalms 109:19 In-Context

17 As he loved the curse, so let it come unto him; as he delighted not in the blessing, so let it be far from him.

18 As he clothed himself with the curse like as with his garment, and it entered into his bowels like water and like oil into his bones.

19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers him and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

20 Let this be the reward from the LORD of those who spoke falsely against me and of those that speak evil against my soul.

21 And thou, O GOD the Lord, do unto me for thy name’s sake; because thy mercy is good, deliver me.
