They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain.
Here we see some more details as to what it means to be wicked. If you speak against God and take His name in vain, you are His enemy and He will come against you. This is cause for us to take pause, after all, in suffering, what does Job's wife say?
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and died" Job 2:9
She wasn't asking Job a one-time thing. She was asking him to become the enemy of God, to turn from the living God and worship instead the gods of ease and comfort. These are the people from whom the psalmist wants to run, and for good reason. Satan is the ultimate enemy of God. Satan hates you and wants you to die. Meanwhile, God is for you, His chosen people, and wants you to have life and life abundant. So it really is a question of life and death; choose this day which one you will pursue.
