Psalms 109:5 In-Context

3 They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.

4 For my love they are my adversaries: But I [give myself unto] prayer.

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

6 Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.

7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.
