1. To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
2. For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me--A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
3. They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
4. For my love they oppose me, and I--prayer!
5. And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
6. Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
