1 God, I praise you! Hear my prayer and do something!
2 Wicked people are telling lies about me. They are saying things that are not true.
3 They are saying hateful things about me. They are attacking me for no reason.
4 I loved them, but they were against me. So I said a prayer.
5 I did good things to them, but they are doing bad things to me. I loved them, but they hated me.
6 They said, “Choose someone evil to represent him. Let the one at his side really be his accuser.
7 Let even his prayer be used as evidence against him, and let the court find him guilty.
