Psalm 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.

Psalm 109:19 In-Context

17 Since he loved cursing so much, let curses rain down; Since he had no taste for blessing, let blessings flee far from him.

18 He dressed up in curses like a fine suit of clothes; he drank curses, took his baths in curses.

19 So give him a gift - a costume of curses; he can wear curses every day of the week!

20 That's what they'll get, those out to get me - an avalanche of just deserts from God.

21 Oh, God, my Lord, step in; work a miracle for me - you can do it! Get me out of here - your love is so great! -
