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.

9 As for the head of those that compass me about,

Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10 Let burning coals fall upon them:

Let them be cast into the fire;

Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

9 Let my enemies be destroyed

by the very evil they have planned for me.

10 Let burning coals fall down on their heads.

Let them be thrown into the fire

or into watery pits from which they can’t escape.

9 “As for the head of those who surround me,

Let the evil of their lips cover them;

10 Let burning coals fall upon them;

Let them be cast into the fire,

Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

9 Those around me have planned trouble.

Now let it come to them.

10 Let burning coals fall on them.

Throw them into the fire

or into pits from which they cannot escape.

9 As for the head of those that compass me about,

Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10 Let burning coals fall upon them:

Let them be cast into the fire,

Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.

9 As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 10 Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.

9 Let the heads of those who surround me 

be covered with their own threats. 

10 Let burning coals fall on them. 

Let them be thrown into a pit, never to rise again. 

9 When those who surround me rise up,

may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them.

10 Let hot coals fall on them.

Let them be thrown into the fire,

into the abyss, never again to rise.

9 Those who surround me lift up their heads;

let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!

10 Let burning coals fall on them!

Let them be flung into pits, no more to rise!

9 With respect to the head of those who surround me,

may the harm of their lips cover them.

10 Let burning coals fall on them;

let them be dropped into the fire,

into bottomless pits from which they cannot rise.

9 Those who are all around me have caused me trouble

by what their lips have said.

Let that trouble fall on their own heads.

10 Let burning coals fall on people like that.

May they be thrown into the fire.

May they be thrown into muddy pits and never get out.

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.
