Psalms [Praises] 140:7-10

⁷Adonai , the Lord, the strength of my yishu'ah ·salvation·, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

⁸Adonai , don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

⁹As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

¹⁰Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
