Be not silent, O God of my praise!
For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me,

For the choir director: A psalm of David.
O God, whom I praise,
don’t stand silent and aloof
while the wicked slander me
and tell lies about me.
They surround me with hateful words
and fight against me for no reason.

even as I am praying for them!
They repay evil for good,
and hatred for my love.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred;
And fought against me without a cause.
For my love they are my adversaries:
But I give myself unto prayer.
And they have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.
