If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

Verse 4 is found in chapter 7 of Psalms. Psalm 7 takes the form of a judicial appeal before God. The psalmist, falsely accused or persecuted, asks the Lord to examine his heart and judge according to truth. The central section affirms that God is a righteous judge and that his anger is directed against persistent evil. The image of violence ultimately falling back upon the one who prepares it expresses a conception of divine retributive justice and finally leads to praise.

HERR, mein Gott, habe ich solches getan und ist Unrecht in meinen Händen;
Si dí mal pago al pacífico conmigo, (Hasta he libertado al que sin causa era mi enemigo;)
si he pagado con mal al que estaba en paz conmigo o he despojado a mi enemigo sin motivo,
Si j'ai rendu le mal à celui qui était paisible envers moi, Si j'ai dépouillé celui qui m'opprimait sans cause,
Se ho renduto mal per bene a chi viveva in pace meco Io, che ho riscosso colui che mi era nemico senza cagione,
Se paguei com o mal àquele que tinha paz comigo (antes, livrei ao que me oprimia sem causa),
我若以惡回報我的朋友, 連那無故與我為敵的,我也救了他 ,
