4. Don’t let me drift toward evilor take part in acts of wickedness.Don’t let me share in the delicaciesof those who do wrong.
5. Let the godly strike me!It will be a kindness!If they correct me, it is soothing medicine.Don’t let me refuse it.But I pray constantlyagainst the wicked and their deeds.
6. When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff,the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.
7. Like rocks brought up by a plow,the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.
8. I look to you for help, O Sovereign lord.You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me.
