They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
The psalm portrays Christ encircled by words of hatred and attacked without any just cause by the priests and rulers. Their opposition had no ground in anything He had done, for He stood innocent before their enmity. That hatred stood in stark contrast to His love for them, a love they returned with hatred.
