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.

Blessed {be} the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

The LORD {is} my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
