For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil [person] dwells with You.

The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight; You hate all who do evil.

Depart from me, all you who do evil, For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

If I have done evil to him who was at peace with me, Or without cause robbed him who was my enemy,

Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, Seek out his wickedness until You find no more.

You, O Lord, will preserve and keep them; You will protect him from this [evil] generation forever.

You [evildoers] shamefully plan against the poor, But the Lord is his safe refuge.

He does not slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

In his eyes an evil person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder]. He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];

You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tested me and You find nothing [evil in me]; I intend that my mouth will not transgress.

For they planned evil against You; They devised a [malevolent] plot And they will not succeed.

For [a pack of] dogs have surrounded me; A gang of evildoers has encircled me, They pierced my hands and my feet.

Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.

I hate the company of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.

Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who do evil, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While malice and mischief are in their hearts.

Repay them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Repay them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them what they deserve.

Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit.

Turn away from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Evil will cause the death of the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be held guilty and will be condemned.

Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back [in defeat] and humiliated who plot evil against me.

They repay me evil for good, To the sorrow of my soul.

He plans wrongdoing on his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not reject or despise evil.

There those who [are perverse and] do evil have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

Security of Those Who Trust in the Lord, and Insecurity of the Wicked.

A Psalm of David.

Do not worry because of evildoers, Nor be envious toward wrongdoers;
