Psalm 109:2–5

For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me,

speaking against me with lying tongues.

They encircle me with words of hate,

and attack me without cause.

In return for my love they accuse me,

but I give myself to prayer.

So they reward me evil for good,

and hatred for my love.

for people who are wicked and deceitful

have opened their mouths against me;

they have spoken against me with lying tongues.

With words of hatred they surround me;

they attack me without cause.

In return for my friendship they accuse me,

but I am a man of prayer.

They repay me evil for good,

and hatred for my friendship.

while the wicked slander me

and tell lies about me.

They surround me with hateful words

and fight against me for no reason.

I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations

even as I am praying for them!

They repay evil for good,

and hatred for my love.

for wicked and deceitful mouths

have opened against me.

They speak to me with a lying tongue.

They also surround me with words of hate,

and fight me without cause.

In return for my love they accuse me,

though I am in prayer.

So they inflicted evil against me in return for good

and hatred in return for my love.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:

They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

They compassed me about also with words of hatred;

And fought against me without a cause.

For my love they are my adversaries:

But I give myself unto prayer.

And they have rewarded me evil for good,

And hatred for my love.
