Psalms 109:2-5

2 For they say cruel and deceptive things to me;
they lie to me. ^{▼▼ Heb “for a mouth of evil and a mouth of deceit against me they open, they speak with me [with] a tongue of falsehood.”}
3 They surround me and say hateful things; ^{▼▼ Heb “and [with] words of hatred they surround me.”}
they attack me for no reason.
4 They repay my love with accusations, ^{▼▼ Heb “in place of my love they oppose me.”}
but I continue to pray. ^{▼▼ Heb “and I, prayer.”}
5 They repay me evil for good, ^{▼▼ Heb “and they set upon me evil in place of good.”}
and hate for love.
