Psalm 28:3-5

New International Reader's Version

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 hate.
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.
