18 He cursed others as often as he wore clothes.Cursing others filled his body and his life,like drinking water and using olive oil.
19 So let curses cover him like clothesand wrap around him like a belt.”
20 May the Lord do these things to those who accuse me,to those who speak evil against me.
21 But you, Lord God,be kind to me so others will know you are good.Because your love is good, save me.
22 I am poor and helplessand very sad.
23 I am dying like an evening shadow;I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak from fasting,and I have grown thin.
