Psalms 109:4 - Compare All Versions

In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.

In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer.

I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations even as I am praying for them!

In return for my love they accuse me, but I continue to pray. 

For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer.

In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer.

My God, don’t turn a deaf ear to my hallelujah prayer. Liars are pouring out invective on me; Their lying tongues are like a pack of dogs out to get me, barking their hate, nipping my heels—and for no reason! I loved them and now they slander me—yes, me!— and treat my prayer like a crime; They return my good with evil, they return my love with hate.

In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer.

In return for my love, they attack me, But I am in prayer.

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