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 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.

19 It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.

20 This [is] the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

21 And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness [is] good, deliver me.
