³ Do not ^(D)drag me off with the wicked,
    with the workers of evil,
^(E)who speak peace with their neighbors
    while evil is in their hearts.
^4 (F)Give to them according to their work
    and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
    ^(G)render them their due reward.
⁵ Because they ^(H)do not regard the works of the Lord
    or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.

⁶ Blessed be the Lord!
    For he has ^(I)heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
⁷ The Lord is my strength and ^(J)my shield;
    in him my heart ^(K)trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
    and with my ^(L)song I give thanks to him.

⁸ The Lord is the strength of his people;^[b]
    he is ^(M)the saving refuge of his anointed.
⁹ Oh, save your people and bless ^(N)your heritage!
    ^(O)Be their shepherd and ^(P)carry them forever.
