Listen to the sound of my pleading
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward your holy sanctuary.(A)

Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.(B)
Repay them according to what they have done—
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve.(C)

    but harbor malice in their hearts.(D)
Repay them for their deeds
    and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(E)
    and bring back on them what they deserve.(F)
