Depart from me, all you that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

I have hated the assembly of evildoers; and will not sit with the ungodly.

Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men;

Oh that You would slay the wicked, O God. Depart from me, you men of blood!

"And then I will confess to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you who work iniquity!'

"Then He will also say to those on the left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

Do not be deceived: "Evil associations corrupts good habits."

I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of Your righteousness.

But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom you dwell upon their land. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, for He is holy.
