7. Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.
8. Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord; do not let their plans succeed.
9. Those who surround me proudly rear their heads; may the mischief of their lips engulf them.
10. May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.
11. May slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down the violent.
12. I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.
