Hear the voice of my supplication,
    as I cry to thee for help,
as I lift up my hands
    towards thy most holy sanctuary.[a]

Take me not off with the wicked,
    with those who are workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors,
    while mischief is in their hearts.
Requite them according to their work,
    and according to the evil of their deeds;
requite them according to the work of their hands;
    render them their due reward.

Do not drag me away with the wicked,

who speak cordially with their neighbors
    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)
