Psalms 140:9-13

Psalms 140:9-13 CSB

When those who surround me rise up,  may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them.  Let hot coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into the abyss, never again to rise.  Do not let a slanderer stay in the land. Let evil relentlessly  hunt down a violent man.  I  know that the  Lord upholds the just cause of the poor, justice for the needy.  Surely the righteous will praise your name; the upright will live in your presence.
