- 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.

- As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
- Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
- Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
- I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
- Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
