Psalm 140:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Drop burning coals upon them;(A)
cast them into the watery pit never more to rise.
12 Slanderers will not survive on earth;
evil will hunt down the man of violence to overthrow him.
13 For I know the Lord will take up the cause of the needy,
justice for the poor.
