Common English Bible

⁸ Lord, don’t give the wicked what they want!
    Don’t allow their plans to succeed,
    or they’ll exalt themselves even more!^[a] Selah

⁹ Let the heads of the people surrounding me
    be covered with the trouble their own lips caused!^[b]
10 Let burning coals fall on them!
    Let them fall into deep pits and never get out again!
