Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the wicked.
Do not allow them to attain their[a] plan, lest they be exalted. Selah
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.

10 May burning coals fall on them;
    may they be thrown into the fire,(C)
    into miry pits, never to rise.
