5
from the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue and from lying words.
6
By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous tongue, my soul drew near even unto death; my life was near to the hell beneath.
7

9
Then lifted I up my supplication from the earth, and prayed for deliverance from death.
