Psalms 140:9-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked one;do not let his plot succeed.Selah

10. Those who surround me raise their heads;may the mischief they threaten overwhelm them.

11. Drop burning coals upon them;cast them into the watery pit never more to rise.

12. Slanderers will not survive on earth;evil will hunt down the man of violence to overthrow him.

13. For I know the Lord will take up the cause of the needy,justice for the poor.
