| 3Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts. | 3Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts. |
| 4Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Requite them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them their recompense. | 4Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve. |
| 5Because they do not regard the works of the LORD Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up. | 5Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them. |
| 6Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication. | 6Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy. |

| 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever. | 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever. |
