## Psalms 109:16-18 in Context (Verses 13–21 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/109/13) Let his posterity be cut off; *and* in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/109/14) Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/109/15) Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/109/16) Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/109/17) As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/109/18) As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/psalms/109/19) Let it be unto him as the garment *which* covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/psalms/109/20) *Let* this *be* the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/psalms/109/21) But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy *is* good, deliver thou me.
 
[Psalms 108](/kjv/psalms/108) [Psalms 110](/kjv/psalms/110)
