8 O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.)
9 As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.
10 Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.
11 Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.
12 I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.
