As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them! Let burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into fire, into miry pits, no more to rise! Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
Lord, one failing is my tendency to plot revenge upon those who seek to harm me. Forgive me, Lord, help me to pray blessing upon them instead and fully trust in Your justice.
