Context of Psalms 109:5
3They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without cause. 4In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer. Thus they have repaid me evil for good And hatred for my love. 6Appoint a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. 7When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, And let his prayer become sin.
