Psalms 140:9-11

9“As for the head of those who surround me, May the 1mischief of their lips cover them.10May 2burning coals fall upon them; May they be 3cast into the fire, Into 4deep pits from which they 5cannot rise.11May a 6slanderer not be established in the earth; 7May evil hunt the violent man 8speedily.”
