Psalms 109:6

Satan

4 In return for my love they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.

5 They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

Set over him a wicked man; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayer be regarded as sin.

8 May his days be few; may another take his position.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
