Psalms 109:1-7

11O God whom I praise, do not ignore me!

2For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me.

3They surround me and say hateful things; they attack me for no reason.

4They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray.

5They repay me evil for good, and hate for love.

6Appoint an evil man to testify against him! May an accuser stand at his right side!

7When he is judged, he will be found guilty! Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.
