Draw me not away with the wicked,
And with the workers of iniquity;
That speak peace with their neighbors,
But mischief is in their hearts.
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings:
Give them after the operation of their hands;
Render to them their desert.
Because they regard not the works of Jehovah,
Nor the operation of his hands,
He will break them down and not build them up.

Do not drag me away with the wicked,
    with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
    but harbor malice in their hearts.(A)
Repay them for their deeds
    and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(B)
    and bring back on them what they deserve.(C)

Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
    and what his hands have done,(D)
he will tear them down
    and never build them up again.
