7 I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.
8 O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.
9 O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.)
10 As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.
11 Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.
12 Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.
13 I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.
