Psalm 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. (Psalm 109:17)
Let it come.
 Here, as in v. 7, the fate of the wicked is expressed, not so much in the form of a wish, but in the simple historical form, as the inevitable result of the decision that the wicked have pronounced upon themselves by their conduct.
