New American Standard Bible

9 “As for the head of those who surround me,
May the (A)harm of their lips cover them.
10 May (B)burning coals fall upon them;
May they be (C)cast into the fire,
Into bottomless pits from which they (D)cannot rise.
11 May a [a]slanderer not endure on the earth;
(E)May evil hunt a violent person [b]violently.”
