And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

Verse 5 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.

Sie beweisen mir Böses um Gutes und Haß um Liebe.
Y pusieron contra mí mal por bien, Y odio por amor.
Me devuelven mal por bien y odio a cambio de mi amor.
Ils me rendent le mal pour le bien, Et de la haine pour mon amour.
Essi mi hanno renduto male per bene, E odio per lo mio amore
E me deram mal pelo bem, e ódio pelo meu amor.
他們向我以惡報善, 以恨報愛。
