9. "As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their lips cover them.
10. "May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into deep pits from which they cannot rise.
11. "May a slanderer not be established in the earth; May evil hunt the violent man speedily."
12. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the poor.
13. Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.
