Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth, bless thee out of Zion.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.

Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?

They have drawn nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Who devise mischiefs in their heart; every day are they banded together for war.
