Ps 109

Ps. 109 The psalmist stands before a corrupt court, falsely accused of a crime. In his distress, he turns to God for help, asking Him to reverse the roles and allow him to judge the court, and one person in particular (either the judge or the accuser). The poet does not conceal his strong feelings against his enemies (Introduction: Characteristics and Themes).
