Psalms 140:8-11
8Do not grant, O Lord, the 1desires of the wicked; Do not promote 2his evil device, that they not be exalted. Selah.
9“As for the head of those who surround me, May the 3mischief of their lips cover them.10May 4burning coals fall upon them; May they be 5cast into the fire, Into 6deep pits from which they 7cannot rise.11May a 8slanderer not be established in the earth; 9May evil hunt the violent man 10speedily.”
