1. God, I praise you.Do not be silent.
2. Wicked people and liars have spoken against me.They have told lies about me.
3. They have said hateful things about me.They attack me for no reason.
4. They attacked me, even though I loved themand prayed for them.
5. I was good to them, but they repay me with evil.I loved them, but they hate me in return.
6. They say about me, “Have the Evil One work against him.Let the devil accuse him.
7. When he is judged, let him be found guilty.Let even his prayers show that he is guilty.
8. Let his life be cut short.Let another man replace him as leader.
9. Let his children become orphans.Let his wife become a widow.
10. Make his children wander around, begging for food.Let them be forced out of the ruins they live in.
