    do not let his plot succeed.

11 Drop burning coals upon them;(A)
    cast them into the watery pit never more to rise.

Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
    may the mischief of their lips engulf them.(A)
10 May burning coals fall on them;
    may they be thrown into the fire,(B)

11 May slanderers not be established in the land;
    may disaster hunt down the violent.(C)
