Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

Verse 6 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.

Setze Gottlose über ihn; und der Satan müsse stehen zu seiner Rechten.
Pon sobre él al impío: Y Satán esté a su diestra.
Place-le sous l'autorité d'un méchant, Et qu'un accusateur se tienne à sa droite!
Costituisci il maligno sopra lui; E fa’ che Satana gli stia alla destra.
Põe sobre ele um ímpio, e Satanás esteja à sua direita.
求你派惡人轄制他, 派對頭站在他右邊!
