1. O GOD of my praise! Keep not silence,
2. For the mouths of the wicked and the mouth of deceit are opened against me; they have spoken to me and against me with lying tongues.
3. They have compassed me about also with words of hatred and have fought against me without a cause.
4. In return for my love they are my adversaries, but I resort to prayer.
5. And they have rewarded and laid upon me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6. Set a wicked man over him [as a judge], and let [a malicious] accuser stand at his right hand.
