-
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
-
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.
-
if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—
-
Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
-
His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
-
Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.
-
Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the Lord.
-
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.
-
Though you probe my heart, though you examine me at night and test me, you will find that I have planned no evil; my mouth has not transgressed.
-
Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.
-
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
-
I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
-
Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
-
Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.
-
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.
-
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
-
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.
-
Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
-
They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved.
-
Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong.
-
See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise!
-
Psalm 37
Of David.
Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;
-
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
-
For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
-
Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
