Lexicon :: Strong's H6466 - p̄āʿal

The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight;

You hate all who do evil.

Depart from me, all you who do evil,

For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

He has also prepared [other] deadly weapons for Himself;

He makes His arrows fiery shafts [aimed at the unrepentant].

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,

And has fallen into the [very] pit which he made [as a trap].

“If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed,

What can the righteous do?”

Have all the workers of wickedness and injustice no knowledge,

Who eat up my people as they eat bread,

And do not call upon the LORD?

He who walks with integrity and strength of character, and works righteousness,

And speaks and holds truth in his heart.

Do not drag me away with the wicked

And with those who do evil,

Who speak peace with their neighbors,

While malice and mischief are in their hearts.

How great is Your goodness,

Which You have stored up for those who [reverently] fear You,

Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You,

[fn]Before the sons of man!

There those who [are perverse and] do evil have fallen;

They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem.

We have heard with our ears, O God,

Our fathers have told us

The work You did in their days,

In the days of old.

Have workers of wickedness no knowledge or no understanding?

They eat up My people as though they ate bread

And have not called upon God.

No, in your heart you devise wrongdoing;

On earth you deal out the violence of your hands.

Deliver me from those who practice wrongdoing,

And save me from bloodthirsty men.

Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly,

From the scheming of those who do wrong,

Your God has commanded your strength [your power in His service and your resistance to temptation];

Show Yourself strong, O God, who acted on our behalf.

Yet God is my King of old,

Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

That though the wicked sprout up like grass

And all evildoers flourish,

They will be destroyed forever.

For behold, Your enemies, O LORD,

For behold, Your enemies will perish;

All who do evil will be scattered.

They pour out words, speaking arrogant things;

All who do evil boast proudly.

Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

Who will take a stand for me against those who do wickedness?

Morning after morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land,

That I may cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do evil.

They do no unrighteousness;

They walk in His ways.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways [in unresponsiveness to God],

The LORD will lead them away with those who do evil.

Peace be upon Israel.

Do not incline my heart to [consent to or tolerate] any evil thing,

Or to practice deeds of wickedness

With men who plan and do evil;

And let me not eat of their delicacies (be tempted by their gain).

Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me,

And from the snares of those who do evil.
