Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. {thy...: or, the oracle of thy sanctuary}
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief {is} in their hearts.
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
