Psalms 109:1-5

Psalms 109

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1O God of my praise, be not silent.

2For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.

3They surround me with hateful words and attack me without cause.

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

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