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

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.

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.

Afterward Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have ruined me! You’ve made me stink among all the people of this land— among all the Canaanites and Perizzites. We are so few that they will join forces and crush us. I will be ruined, and my entire household will be wiped out!”

Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers.

No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.

Hide me from the plots of this evil mob, from this gang of wrongdoers.

Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song.

The plans of the godly are just; the advice of the wicked is treacherous.

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!

Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and

The Kishon River swept them away— that ancient torrent, the Kishon. March on with courage, my soul!

I never joined the people in their merry feasts. I sat alone because your hand was on me. I was filled with indignation at their sins.

‘ Cursed is anyone who attacks a neighbor in secret.’ And all the people will reply,‘ Amen.’

And I’ll sit back and say to myself,“ My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.

that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.

Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side— leaders whose decrees permit injustice?They gang up against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.

My heart, my heart— I writhe in pain! My heart pounds within me! I cannot be still. For I have heard the blast of enemy trumpets and the roar of their battle cries.

O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

But three days later, when their wounds were still sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s full brothers, took their swords and entered the town without opposition. Then they slaughtered every male there,including Hamor and his son Shechem. They killed them with their swords, then took Dinah from Shechem’s house and returned to their camp.

They may say,“ Come and join us. Let’s hide and kill someone! Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!

O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers!

My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths.They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder.

Do not drag me away with the wicked— with those who do evil— those who speak friendly words to their neighbors while planning evil in their hearts.
