"I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked. "
— Psalms 26:5, American Standard Version
“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.”
“I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.”
“I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked.”
“For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.”
“I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.”
“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.”
Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.
I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.
I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
