‏ Psalms 109:16-20

16. Let God remember guilt, because he (the wicked) did not remember mercy.

poor and needy ... broken in heart--that is, pious sufferer (Psa 34:18; 35:10; 40:17).

17-19. Let his loved sin, cursing, come upon him in punishment (Psa 35:8), thoroughly fill him as water and oil, permeating to every part of his system (compare Nu 5:22-27), and become a garment and a girdle for a perpetual dress.

20. Let this ... reward--or, "wages," pay for labor, the fruit of the enemy's wickedness.

from the Lord--as His judicial act.
