Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.

Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.

For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

6 ¶ Blessed be the LORD because he has heard the voice of my supplications.
