1. God, I praise you. Don't remain silent.
2. Sinful people who lie and cheat have spoken against me. They have used their tongues to tell lies about me.
3. They gather all around me with their words of hatred. They attack me without any reason.
4. They bring charges against me, even though I love them and pray for them.
5. They pay me back with evil for the good things I do. They pay back my love with hatred.
6. Appoint an evil person to take my enemies to court. Let him stand at their right hand and bring charges against them.
7. When they are tried, let them be found guilty. May even their prayers judge them.
8. May their days be few. Let others take their places as leaders.
