“They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.”
In return for my love they accuse me, even while I pray for them. The speaker's response to the enemies includes love and intercessory prayer ('I pray for them'), yet they repay with accusation. The contrast between the speaker's loving response and the enemies' hostile reciprocation emphasizes their moral failure. This verse portrays the speaker as morally superior, responding to hatred with prayer.
