1 Hold not Thy peace, O Elohei tehillati;
2 For the mouth of the rasha and the mouth of the mirmah are opened against me; they have spoken against me with a leshon sheker (a lying tongue).
3 They surrounded me also with divrei sinah (words of hatred); and attacked me without cause.
4 In return for my ahavah they are my adversaries; but I give myself unto tefillah (prayer).
5 Thus they have laid upon me ra'ah for tovah, and sinah for my ahavah.
6 Set Thou a rasha (wicked man) over him; and let Satan (the Accuser) stand at his yamin (right hand).
