Psalm 109:16

Psalm 109:16 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

16For he never thought of doing a kindness,

but hounded to death the poor

and the needy and the brokenhearted.

16Because he did not remember to show mercy,

But persecuted the afflicted and needy person,

And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.

16Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,

But persecuted the afflicted and needy man,

And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.

16Because the man did not remember to show kindness,

But persecuted the suffering and needy man,

And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

16For he never thought to show kindness,

but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted,

even to their death.

16They 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.
