6I said to Yahweh, “You are my God; listen to my cries for mercy.”
7Yahweh, my Lord, you are powerfully able to save me; you shield my head in the day of battle.
8Yahweh, do not grant the desires of the wicked; do not let their plots succeed. Selah
9Those who surround me raise their heads; let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Let burning coals fall on them; throw them into the fire, into bottomless pits, never more to rise.
