Wicked

Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly,
From the scheming of those who do wrong,

And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword;

Slay

Look, my father! Indeed, see the hem of your robe in my hand! Since I cut off the hem of your robe and did not kill you, know and understand [without question] that there is no evil or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you are lying in wait to take my life.

The bloodthirsty hate the blameless [because of his integrity],
But the upright are concerned for his life.

Your eyes are too pure to approve evil,
And You cannot look favorably on wickedness.
Why then do You look favorably
On those who act treacherously?
Why are you silent when the wicked (Chaldean oppressors) destroy
Those more righteous than they?

and you say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’

Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who proclaimed beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become;

and not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother [Abel]. And why did he murder him? Because Cain’s deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
