“For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.”
So they have repaid me evil for good, and hatred for my love. The verse repeats and emphasizes the inversion of moral reciprocity, as evil-for-good and hatred-for-love represent complete reversal of proper social relationship. The double parallelism stresses the magnitude of the injustice. This verse articulates the fundamental injustice: the speaker extends goodwill, only to receive malice.
