1. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
3. They have 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.
