1. Hold not Thy peace, O Elohei tehillati;
2. For the mouth of the rasha and the mouth of the mirmah are opened against me; they have spoken against me with a leshon sheker (a lying tongue).
3. They surrounded me also with divrei sinah (words of hatred); and attacked me without cause.
4. In return for my ahavah they are my adversaries; but I give myself unto tefillah (prayer).
5. Thus they have laid upon me ra'ah for tovah, and sinah for my ahavah.
6. Set Thou a rasha (wicked man) over him; and let Satan (the Accuser) stand at his yamin (right hand).
7. When he shall be tried, let him be in the judgment condemned; and let his tefillah (prayer) become sin.
8. Let his yamim be few; and let another take his pekuddat [See Ac 1:20 OJBC].
9. Let his banim be yetomim, and his isha an almanah.
10. Let his banim be continually vagabonds, and beg; let them seek from their ruins.
11. Let the nosheh (creditor) seize all that he hath; and let the zarim (strangers) plunder his labor.
