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

Verse 4 is found in chapter 109 of Psalms. Psalm 109 is a plea against an accuser who has responded to love with hostility. The psalmist presents before God a situation of false accusations, hatred, and persecution. The language of judgment is particularly intense and belongs to the genre of imprecations, in which the sufferer entrusts the fate of violent people to God. The conclusion returns to trust: God stands at the right hand of the poor to save him from those who condemn him.

Dafür, daß ich sie liebe, sind sie wider mich; ich aber bete.
En pago de mi amor me han sido adversarios: Mas yo oraba.
A cambio de mi amor me acusan, pero yo me entrego a la oración.
Tandis que je les aime, ils sont mes adversaires; Mais moi je recours à la prière.
In vece dell’amore che ho loro portato, mi sono stati avversari; Ed io ho loro renduta preghiera.
Em recompensa do meu amor são meus adversários; mas eu faço oração.
他們與我作對回報我的愛, 但我專心祈禱。
