O God, whom I praise,
don't stand silent and aloof
while the wicked slander me
and tell lies about me.
They surround me with hateful words
and fight against me for no reason.
I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations
even as I am praying for them!
They repay evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
O God, whom I praise, don't stand silent and aloof while the wicked slander me and tell lies about me.
