may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me; may he trample me to death and leave me lying dishonored in the dust. (Selah)

May lying lips be silenced -- lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!

When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)

adrift among the dead, like corpses lying in the grave, whom you remember no more, and who are cut off from your power.

Wait patiently for the Lord! Wait confidently for him! Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner, a man who carries out wicked schemes!
