3 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.

4 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.

5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord

and what his hands have done,

he will tear them down

and never build them up again.

3 Do not drag me off with the wicked,

with the workers of evil,

who speak peace with their neighbors

while evil is in their hearts.

4 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;

render them their due reward.

5 Because they 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.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity,

Which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds,

And according to the wickedness of their endeavours:

Give them after the work of their hands;

Render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord,

Nor the operation of his hands,

He shall destroy them, and not build them up.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked—

with those who do evil—

those who speak friendly words to their neighbors

while planning evil in their hearts.

4 Give them the punishment they so richly deserve!

Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness.

Pay them back for all their evil deeds!

Give them a taste of what they have done to others.

5 They care nothing for what the Lord has done

or for what his hands have made.

So he will tear them down,

and they will never be rebuilt!

3 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.

4 Pay them back for what they have done,

for their evil deeds.

Pay them back for what they have done;

give them their reward.

5 They don’t understand what the Lord has done

or what he has made.

So he will knock them down

and not lift them up.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked,

And with the workers of iniquity;

That speak peace with their neighbors,

But mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings:

Give them after the operation of their hands;

Render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of Jehovah,

Nor the operation of his hands,

He will break them down and not build them up.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart. 4 Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert. 5 For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

3 Do not drag me away with wicked people, 

with troublemakers who speak of peace with their neighbors 

but have evil in their hearts. 

4 Pay them back for what they have done, 

for their evil deeds. 

Pay them back for what their hands have done, 

and give them what they deserve. 

5 The Lord will tear them down and never build them up again, 

because they never consider what he has done 

or what his hands have made. 

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,

with the evildoers,

who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors

while malice is in their hearts.

4 Repay them according to what they have done—

according to the evil of their deeds.

Repay them according to the work of their hands;

give them back what they deserve.

5 Because they do not consider

what the Lord has done

or the work of His hands,

He will tear them down and not rebuild them.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,

with those who are workers of evil,

who speak peace with their neighbors,

while mischief is in their hearts.

4 Repay them according to their work,

and according to the evil of their deeds;

repay them according to the work of their hands;

render them their due reward.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,

or the work of his hands,

he will break them down and build them up no more.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked

or with the workers of evil,

who speak of peace with their neighbors,

while evil is in their heart.

4 Give to them according to their work,

even according to the evil of their deeds.

Give to them according to the work of their hands;

repay them their rightful due.

5 Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh,

nor the work of his hands,

he will destroy them

and not rebuild them.

3 Don’t drag me away with sinners.

Don’t drag me away with those who do evil.

They speak in a friendly way to their neighbors.

But their hearts are full of hatred.

4 Pay them back for their evil actions.

Pay them back for what their hands have done.

Give them exactly what they should get.

5 They don’t care about the Lord’s mighty acts.

They don’t care about what his hands have done.

So he will tear them down.

He will never build them up again.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked

And with those who work iniquity,

Who speak peace with their neighbors,

While evil is in their hearts.

4 Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;

Requite them according to the deeds of their hands;

Repay them their recompense.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord

Nor the deeds of His hands,

He will tear them down and not build them up.
