8. Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! Selah
9. As for the head of those who surround me,let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10. Let burning coals fall upon them!Let them be cast into fire,into miry pits, no more to rise!
11. Let not the slanderer be established in the land;let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
12. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,and will execute justice for the needy.
