“They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.”
The psalmist declares 'Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow what is good.' The inversion described—rendering evil for good—suggests the cruelty of the enemies in responding to the psalmist's attempts at righteousness with hostility. The psalmist's commitment to good is itself made a cause of accusation. This verse indicates that the psalmist faces opposition not because he is wicked but because he seeks to do good.
