"Psalm 109:

David reverses roles with his enemies by moving from being the accused in man’s court to being the accuser/prosecutor before the bar of God.

I. The Plaintiff’s Plea 

(109:1-5).
II. The Punishment Desired 

(109:6-20).
III. The Petition for Justice 

(109:21-29).
IV. The Praise of the Judge 

(109:30-31).

Psalm 109:1 Hold not Thy peace, O God of my praise;

Psalm 109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Psalm 109:6 Set Thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Psalm 109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Let conscience, which is as a thousand witnesses, rise up against him, and condemn him;

Psalm 109:8 Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
Psalm 109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Psalm 109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Psalm 109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
Psalm 109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to Thy mercy:
Psalm 109:27 That they may know that this [is] Thy hand; [that] Thou, LORD, hast done it."
