They repay me evil for good, and hate for love.

They repay me evil for the good I have done; though I have tried to do good to them, they hurl accusations at me.

They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.

I cried out to him for help and praised him with my tongue.

Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority.

They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray.

you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority,

He made the sky sink as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet.

I beat them to death; they fall at my feet.

He subdued nations beneath us and countries under our feet.

His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.

Your sons will carry on the dynasty of your ancestors; you will make them princes throughout the land.

Their tongues wound like a serpent; a viper’s venom is behind their lips. (Selah)
