Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
(A)Lest they be exalted. Selah

As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
10 (B)Let burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

Do not grant the wicked(A) their desires, Lord;
    do not let their plans succeed.

Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
    may the mischief of their lips engulf them.(B)
10 May burning coals fall on them;
    may they be thrown into the fire,(C)
    into miry pits, never to rise.
