Psalm 109:1-5
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Be not silent, O God of my praise! For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer. So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
It is only You, Lord, that stands between Betty and I and the lying tongues of our ward and her family. Our only defense is prayer of thanksgiving and praise, bringing our needs before You and trusting in the peace that passes all understanding. (Ps 149:6, Phil. 4:4ff)
