Psalms 140:11
9 May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.
12 I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.
13 Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
