1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred;and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries:but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good,and hatred for my love.
