2 My earnest supplications hear When I to thee [for help] do cry; When I my hands lift up towards Thy [sacred] Oracle on high.
3 O draw me not away with those Who [falsely] act this wicked part; Who speak unto their neighbour's peace, While mischief's in their [treacherous] heart.
3 O draw me not away with those Who [falsly] act this wicked part; Who speak unto their neighbour's peace, While mischief's in their [treacherous] heart.
4 Give them according to their deeds, [After] the evil which they meant; According to their handy work, Render [to them] their punishment.
5 Since they regarded not God's works, Nor what [great things] his hands have wrought, He shall not build, but pull them down, [Destroy] and bring them all to nought.
