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.
5 And they set evil against me, instead of good, and hatred, in return for my love.
6 Establish the sinner over him, and let the devil stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, may he go forth in condemnation, and may his prayer be counted as sin.
