1. Do not remain silent,O God of my praise!
2. For the mouth of the wicked and deceitfulare opened against me;they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3. They encircled me with words of hatredand fought against me without cause.
4. In return for my love they are my adversaries,but I give myself to prayer.
5. They have rewarded me evil for goodand hatred for my love.
6. Set a wicked man against him,and let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned,and let his prayer be reckoned as sin.
8. Let his days be few,and let another take his office.
