Psalm 109

Prayer for Vindication and Vengeance

To the leader. Of David. A Psalm.

Do not be silent, O God of my praise.(A)
For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me,
    speaking against me with lying tongues.
They surround me with words of hate
    and attack me without cause.(B)
In return for my love they accuse me,
    even while I make prayer for them.[a](C)
So they reward me evil for good
    and hatred for my love.(D)
