Psalm 140:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version

Plea for Justice

9 May the trouble caused by their lips
    fall on the heads of those who surround me.
10 Let burning coals fall on them.
Cause them to fall into the fire,
or into pits from which they will never rise.
11 Do not let the slanderer[a] be established in the land.
As for the man of violence—
may evil hunt him and beat him down.
