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 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, Like oil into his bones.

19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, For the belt that is always around him.

20 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, Of those who speak evil against my soul.

21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name's sake, Because your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;
