Don’t drag me away with the wicked,
    with those who do evil.
They say, “Peace” to their neighbors.
    But evil is in their hearts.
Pay them back for what they have done.
    They have done evil.
Pay them back for what they have done.

    or what he has made.

    and not lift them up.

Do not drag me away with the wicked,
    with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors

    and what his hands have done,(D)
he will tear them down
    and never build them up again.
