Behold, God will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.

For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

{A Psalm of David.} Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;

For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

And mine eye shall see its desire on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear it of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?

Depart from me, ye evil-doers; and I will observe the commandments of my God.

The evil-doer giveth heed to iniquitous lips; the liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of the wicked:

in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.

And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness!
