8. "Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; Do not promote his evil device, that they not be exalted. Selah.
9. "As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their lips cover them.
10. "May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into deep pits from which they cannot rise.
11. "May a slanderer not be established in the earth; May evil hunt the violent man speedily."
