For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
Have opened against me;
They have spoken against me with a (A)lying tongue.
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me (B)without a cause.
In return for my love they are my accusers,
But I give myself to prayer.
