1. For the leader. A psalm of David.
2. O God, whom I praise, do not be silent,for wicked and treacherous mouths attack me.They speak against me with lying tongues;
3. with hateful words they surround me,attacking me without cause.
4. In return for my love they slander me,even though I prayed for them.
5. They repay me evil for good,hatred for my love.
6. Appoint an evil one over him,an accuser to stand at his right hand,
7. That he may be judged and found guilty,that his plea may be in vain.
