² Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

⁷⁸ Let the men of pride be shamed; because they have falsely given decision against me; but I will give thought to your orders.

⁴ Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.

¹⁰ Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.

¹⁴ Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

⁴ If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

⁵ Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)

³ Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.
