Psalms 109:4 — Meaning and Application

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. {of the deceitful: Heb. of deceit} {are opened: Heb. have opened themselves}

They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

For my love they are my adversaries: but I {give myself unto} prayer.

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

Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. {Satan: or, an adversary}
