Do not drag me away with wicked people,
with troublemakers who speak of peace with their neighbors
but have evil in their hearts.
Pay them back for what they have done,
for their evil deeds.
Pay them back for what their hands have done,
and give them what they deserve.
The Lord will tear them down and never build them up again,
because they never consider what he has done
or what his hands have made.

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.
