Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
O God, do not be silent toward my praise, for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the deceitful one have been opened against me.
They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues, and they have surrounded me with hateful words, and they fought against me over nothing.
Instead of choosing to act on my behalf, they detracted me. But I gave myself to prayer.
And they set evil against me, instead of good, and hatred, in return for my love.
Establish the sinner over him, and let the devil stand at his right hand.
When he is judged, may he go forth in condemnation, and may his prayer be counted as sin.
