Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.

See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.

And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.

There the evil-doers have fallen; they are cast down, and cannot rise.

By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,

For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.

The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.

For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

Be waiting for the Lord, and keep his way; and you will be lifted up, and have the land for your heritage: when the evil-doers are cut off, you will see it.

And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.

The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words.

Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.

Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.

And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?

Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.

The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

The cords of evil-doers are round me; but I have kept in mind your law.

Depart from me, ye evil-doers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.

As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness, the LORD shall lead them forth with the evil doers; but peace shall be upon Israel.

O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.

Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?

Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.

The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

(The face of Jehovah is on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all doers of iniquity.

O pluck me not away, neither destroy me with the ungodly and wicked doers, which speak friendly to their neighbours, but imagine mischief in their hearts.

O deliver me from the wicked doers, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.

How long shall all wicked doers speak so disdainfully, and make such proud boasting?

Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me, and from the traps of the wicked doers.

Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.

Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you.

He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.

If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your word.

They draw near that follow after evil: they are far from your law.

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.

He will pay them back for their sins
and destroy them for their evil.
The Lord our God will destroy them.

You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of His godly ones;
He rescues them from the power of the wicked.

A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with evil.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

Who imagine evil in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their delicacies.

Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be against their evil.

Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.

For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

He hath said in his heart, 'I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.

He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

Despised in his eyes is a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.

The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.

Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.

What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?

O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.

For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,

Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.

He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.

Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts.

Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;

Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.

Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

He sent on them the heat of his wrath, his bitter disgust, letting loose evil angels among them.

They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.

Let this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil against me.

For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.

O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.)

As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.

Rulers make evil designs against me; but your servant gives thought to your rules.

Let my heart be turned to your unchanging word, and not to evil desire.

All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.
