For dogs have surrounded me, - An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet,

I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies - mine! - they, stumbled and fell!

Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity;

For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.

Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.

Who will rise up for me, against the evil-doers? Who will make a stand for me, against the workers of iniquity?

Depart from me, ye evil-doers, - that I may observe the commandments of my God.
