⁶ Let my soul come not into their council;
    ^(A)O my glory, ^(B)be not joined to their company.
For in their anger they killed men,
    and in their willfulness they ^(C)hamstrung oxen.

^9 (A)Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
    nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

^17 (A)I did not sit in the company of revelers,
    nor did I rejoice;
^(B)I sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
    for you had filled me with indignation.

^19 (A)My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
    Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
    I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
    the alarm of war.

² Hide me from ^(A)the secret plots of the wicked,
    from the throng of evildoers,
