1 I praise you, God!Don't keep silent.
2 Destructive and deceitful liesare told about me,
3 and hateful things are saidfor no reason.
4 I had pity and prayedfor my enemies,but their words to mewere harsh and cruel.
5 For being friendly and kind,they paid me backwith meanness and hatred.
6 My enemies said,“Find some worthless foolsto accuse him of a crime.
