- "As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their lips cover them.
- "May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into deep pits from which they cannot rise.
- "May a slanderer not be established in the earth; May evil hunt the violent man speedily."
- I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the poor.
- Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.

- Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.
- Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.
- Let slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down men of violence.
- I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.
- Surely the righteous will praise your name and the upright will live before you.
