May my soul not enter into their council; May my glory not be united with their assembly; For in their anger they killed men, And in their self will they lamed oxen.

我的灵啊，不要与他们同谋；我的心哪，不要与他们联络；因为他们趁怒杀害人命，任意砍断牛腿大筋。

愿我的心不与他们同谋，愿我的灵不与他们合伙；因为他们在烈怒中杀人，任意割断牛腿的筋。

愿我的心不与他们同谋，愿我的灵不与他们合伙；因为他们在烈怒中杀人，任意割断牛腿的筋。

我的灵啊，不要与他们同谋。我的心啊，不要与他们联合。他们泄愤杀人，随意砍断牛腿的筋。

我的灵啊，不可加入他们的阴谋；我的心啊，不可参与他们的集会，因为他们在怒中杀人，任意砍断牛的腿筋。

愿我的灵不进入他们的密会，愿我的荣耀不参加他们的聚集；因为他们在怒气中杀人，又任意挑断牛腿筋。

我的靈啊，不要與他們同謀；我的心哪，不要與他們聯絡；因為他們趁怒殺害人命，任意砍斷牛腿大筋。

我的心哪，不要進入他們的議會；我的肝腸啊，不要參加他們的集團；因為他們氣忿忿地殺人，任意砍斷牛腿大筋；

願我的靈不進入他們的密會，願我的榮耀不參加他們的聚集；因為他們在怒氣中殺人，又任意挑斷牛腿筋。

我心不與同謀、我神不與共會、蓋其乘怒而戕人命、縱欲而斷牛筋、

我心不願與同謀、我意不願與共會、其乘怒而殺人、其縱欲而圮垣。

我心不願與之同謀、我靈不欲與之共會、因其乘怒殺戮人、縱欲殘害牛、

Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.

I won’t share in their plans. I won’t have anything to do with them. They became angry and killed people. They cut the legs of oxen just for the fun of it.

Let my soul come not into their council; O my glory, be not joined to their company. For in their anger they killed men, and in their willfulness they hamstrung oxen.

May I never join in their meetings; may I never be a party to their plans. For in their anger they murdered men, and they crippled oxen just for sport.

May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For in their anger they kill men, and on a whim they hamstring oxen.

Let not my soul enter their council; Let not my honor be united to their assembly; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox.

O my soul, come not thou into their council; Unto their assembly, my glory, be not thou united; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self- will they hocked an ox.

May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For in their anger they kill men, and on a whim they hamstring oxen.

O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

O my soul, do not come into their council, do not be united to their assembly, my heart, for in their anger they have killed men, and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.

My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self- will they hamstrung cattle.

Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have brought trouble on me by making me repulsive among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since my men are few in number, they will band together against me and attack me, and I will be destroyed, I and my household!”

Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers, From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,

Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

The thoughts of the righteous are just, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

Do not be mismatched with unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness share together, or what does light have in common with darkness?

Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

The torrent of Kishon swept them away, The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, march on with strength!

I did not sit in a circle of revelers and celebrate. Because of Your hand upon me I sat alone, For You filled me with indignation.

‘ Cursed is he who attacks his neighbor in secret.’ And all the people shall say,‘ Amen.’

And I will say to myself,“ You have many goods stored up for many years to come; relax, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!” ’

I do not sit with deceitful people, Nor will I go with pretenders.I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.

That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.

Bless the Lord, my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

My soul, my soul! I am in anguish! Oh, my heart! My heart is pounding in me; I cannot keep silent, Because, my soul, you have heard The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war.

Make them pay, God; Have them fall by their own schemes! Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings, For they are rebellious against You.

Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob’s sons— Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers— each took his sword and came upon the city undetected, and killed every male.They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and left.

If they say,“ Come with us, Let’s lie in wait for blood, Let’s ambush the innocent without cause;

If only You would put the wicked to death, God; Leave me, you men of bloodshed.

My son, do not walk on the way with them. Keep your feet from their path,For their feet run to evil, And they are quick to shed blood.

Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who practice injustice, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.
