6
I said to the Lord: "You are my God; Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7
O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.
8
Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; Do not further his wicked scheme, Lest they be exalted. Selah
9
"As for the head of those who surround me, Let the evil of their lips cover them;
10
Let burning coals fall upon them; Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11
Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him."
12
I know that the Lord will maintain The cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor.
13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
