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.
7 Try him and find him guilty!Consider his prayers a lie.
8 Cut his life shortand let someone elsehave his job.
9 Make orphans of his childrenand a widow of his wife;
10 make his children beg for foodand live in the slums.
