The reference to those who hate without cause being more than the hairs of the head establishes that opposition is countless and undeserved. The comparison to hairs suggests both multitude and the triviality of individual hairs, yet the collective counting becomes overwhelming. The emphasis that enemies hate without cause indicates that there is no legitimate provocation; the opposition is gratuitous. This verse articulates that the psalmist faces not isolated opposition but a comprehensive assault by many adversaries.
