Psalms 109:1-7

1Hold not thy peaceH2790, O GodH430 of my praiseH8416;

2For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of the deceitfulH4820 are openedH6605 against me: they have spokenH1696 against me with a lyingH8267 tongueH3956.1 2

3They compassedH5437 me about also with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135; and foughtH3898 against me without a causeH2600.

4For my loveH160 they are my adversariesH7853: but I give myself unto prayerH8605.

5And they have rewardedH7760 me evilH7451 for goodH2896, and hatredH8135 for my loveH160.

6SetH6485 thou a wicked manH7563 over him: and let SatanH7854 standH5975 at his right handH3225.3

7When he shall be judgedH8199, let him beH3318 condemnedH7563: and let his prayerH8605 become sinH2401.4
