Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.

Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?

There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.

Do not be angry because of the wrongdoers, or have envy of the workers of evil.

Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

Take me out of the power of the workers of evil, and keep me safe from the men of blood.

Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;

Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

The sons of pride have no place before you; you are a hater of all workers of evil.

Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.

You, O Lord God of armies, are the God of Israel; come now and give punishment to the nations; have no mercy on any workers of deceit. (Selah.)

This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.

That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

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?

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.

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;

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.

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,

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

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?

And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.

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.

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

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.
