8. Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. Selah.
9. As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10. Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
11. Let not the man of evil tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to his ruin.
12. I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
