6. I said to the Lord, “You are my God;hear the voice of my supplications, OLord.”
7. O God my Lord, the strength of my salvation,You have covered my head in the day of battle.
8. Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;do not allow his evil plot,lest he be raised up. Selah
9. As for the head of those who encompassme,let the mischief of their own lips overwhelm them;
10. let burning coals fall upon them;let them be cast into the fire,into deep pits that they do not rise up again.
11. Let not an evil speaker be established in the land;let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him!
12. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflictedand will give justice to the poor.
13. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Your name;the upright shall dwell in Your presence.
