18. He made cursing a way of life,so curses poured into his stomach like waterand seeped into his bones like oil.
19. May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on,or a belt one wears continually!
20. May the Lord repay my accusers in this way,those who say evil things about me!
21. O sovereign Lord,intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation!Because your loyal love is good, deliver me!
22. For I am oppressed and needy,and my heart beats violently within me.
