1. O thou the God of all my praise,do thou not hold thy peace;
2. For mouths of wicked men to speakagainst me do not cease:The mouths of vile deceitful menagainst me open'd be;And with a false and lying tonguethey have accused me.
3. They did beset me round aboutwith words of hateful spight:And though to them no cause I gave,against me they did fight.
