Psalms 108:4

4 Instead of choosing to act on my behalf,
they detracted me. But I gave myself to prayer. ^{▼▼108:4The verb ‘diligerent’ can mean ‘to love,’ but it can also mean ‘to choose.’ In this case, his complaint is not that they don’t love him, but that they do not choose (to act) on his behalf or in his favor.(Conte)}
