Psa 109:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2–5 : David describes his enemies to God. They are wicked and enjoy doing evil (Psalm 109:2 ). He says, They have spoken against me with a lying tongue , and their words are full of hate (Psalm 109:3 ). These people attack him without any reason. David says, They have fought against me without a cause (Psalm 109:3 ). He points out that his enemies lie about him, pretend to be kind, but in reality, they want to hurt him. They surround him and try to harm him from every side. David also notices their ingratitude; he did good things for them, but they gave him evil in return (Psalm 109:5 ). He says, For my love they are my adversaries (Psalm 109:4 ). The more he tried to help, the more they hated him. Sadly, sometimes people respond to kindness with hate, and David knows this from experience.

‏ Psalms 109:2

v. 2–5: David describes his enemies to God. They are wicked and enjoy doing evil (Psalm 109:2 ^a). He says, They have spoken against me with a lying tongue, and their words are full of hate (Psalm 109:3 ^b). These people attack him without any reason. David says, They have fought against me without a cause (Psalm 109:3 ^c). He points out that his enemies lie about him, pretend to be kind, but in reality, they want to hurt him. They surround him and try to harm him from every side. David also notices their ingratitude; he did good things for them, but they gave him evil in return (Psalm 109:5 ^d). He says, For my love they are my adversaries (Psalm 109:4 ^e). The more he tried to help, the more they hated him. Sadly, sometimes people respond to kindness with hate, and David knows this from experience.
