Psalm 109:1-8

Psalm 109 1For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. My God, whom I praise, do not remain silent,

2for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.

3With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.

4In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.

5They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship.

6Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him.

8May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
