New International Reader's Version

Psalm 109:15-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. May the Lord never forget their sins. Then he won't let people remember those sinners anymore.

16. They never thought about doing anything kind. Instead, they drove those who were poor and needy to their deaths. They did the same thing to those whose hearts were broken.

17. They loved to call down curses on others. May their curses come back on them. They didn't find any pleasure in giving anyone their blessing. May no blessing ever come to them.

18. They called down curses on others as easily as they put on clothes. Cursing was as natural to them as getting a drink of water or putting olive oil on their bodies.

19. May their curses cover them like coats. May their curses be wrapped around them like a belt forever.
