1. O God of my praise, do not keep silent,
2. for wicked and deceitful mouths have opened against me. They speak to me with a lying tongue.
3. They also surround me with words of hate, and fight me without cause.
4. In return for my love they accuse me, though I am in prayer.
5. So they inflicted evil against me in return for good and hatred in return for my love.
