I am not a biblical scholar. I haven't read it in a while, so I went and looked up Psalm 109:8. This is what I found.
Psalm 109:8

Now if it said Psalm 109:09 or 109:10, that would be totally different, but it doesn't. If it didn't specify verse 8, it would be inappropriate. Either way, I am not wearing it. But if you do, consider this........
Here are the two verses that come after Psalm 109:8:
'Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.'
Anyone praying for that is no better than Osama Bin Laden.
How about printing this psalm on a T-Shirt instead????
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, a]">[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
