1
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Do not keep silent, O God of my praise!
2
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
4
In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer.
5
Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
6
Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7
When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin.
8
Let his days be few, And let another take his office.
