Psalms140:9
As for the head of those that compass me about, etc. God, he saith, had covered his head in the day of battle: now contrariwise ho showeth what should cover the head of his enemies, viz., it should come to them as with their lips they had maliciously spoken against him; for it may be thus rendered —"The head of my besieger, let the trouble of his lips cover it": for cursing, "let him be covered with cursing as with a cloak." —John Mayer.
