7. Lord and King, you save me because you are strong. You are like a shield that keeps me safe in the day of battle.
8. Lord, don't give sinners what they want. Don't let their plans succeed. If you do, they will become proud. Selah
9. Those who are all around me have caused me trouble by what their lips have said. Let that trouble fall on their own heads.
10. Let burning coals fall on people like that. May they be thrown into the fire. May they be thrown into muddy pits and never get out.
11. Don't let men who tell lies about me settle down in the land. May trouble hunt down those who want to hurt me.
12. I know that the Lord makes sure that poor people are treated fairly. He stands up for those who are in need.
