שְׁמַ֤ע ק֨וֹל ׀ תַּחֲנוּנַ֗י בְּשַׁוְּעִ֣י אֵ֭לֶיךָ בְּנָשְׂאִ֣י יָדַ֑י אֶל דְּבִ֖יר קָדְשְׁךָ֣ יהוה׃

אַל תִּמְשְׁכֵ֣נִי עִם רְשָׁעִ֑ים וְעִם פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָ֝֗וֶן דֹּבְרֵ֥י שָׁל֗וֹם עִם רֵעֵיהֶ֖ם וְרָעָ֣ה בִּלְבָבָֽם׃

KJVDraw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

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.

תֶּן לָהֶ֣ם כְּ֭פָעֳלָם וּכְרֹ֣עַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶ֑ם כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יְ֝דֵיהֶ֗ם תֵּ֣ן לָהֶֽם הָשֵׁ֖ב גְּמוּלָ֣ם לָהֶֽם׃

KJVGive 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.

כִּ֤י לֹ֣א יָבִ֣ינוּ אֶל פְּעֻלֹּ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶל מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דָ֗יו יֶהֶרְסֵ֥ם וְלֹ֣א יִבְנֵֽם׃
