For wicked and (A)deceitful mouths are opened against me,
    speaking against me with lying tongues.
They encircle me with words of hate,
    and attack me (B)without cause.
In return for my love they (C)accuse me,
    but I (D)give myself to prayer.[a]
So they (E)reward me evil for good,
    and hatred for my love.

(F)Appoint a wicked man (G)against him;
    let an accuser stand (H)at his right hand.
When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;
    let his (I)prayer be counted as sin!
