1. For the music director, a psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent.
2. For the wicked and the deceitful have opened their mouth against me. They spoke to me with a lying tongue,
3. with hateful words surrounded me, and fought against me without cause.
4. In return for my love they are my accusers, but I am in prayer.
5. They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6. Set a wicked man over him, let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7. When he is judged, let him be found guilty, and may his prayer be as sin.
