Psa 109:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17–19 : David says that since the enemy loved to curse others, those curses will come back on his own head. He did not like to bless anyone, so no blessings will come to him. David says, He clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment (Psalm 109:18 ). The curse will become part of him, like water inside his body or oil in his bones. It will surround him completely, like clothes or a belt (Psalm 109:19 ). This shows how powerful and dangerous it is to use words to harm others.
