“They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.”
The statement that those who would destroy the psalmist being mighty indicates formidable opposition backed by power and resources. The reference to enemies falsely requiring of the psalmist what was not taken indicates that the psalmist is accused of theft or violation of property that they did not commit. This verse establishes injustice: the righteous are attacked by the powerful who use false accusations as their weapon.
