1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2 O God, do not be silent toward my praise, for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the deceitful one have been opened against me.
3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues, and they have surrounded me with hateful words, and they fought against me over nothing.
4 Instead of choosing to act on my behalf, they detracted me. But I gave myself to prayer.
