Who follow mischief they draw nigh; they from thy law are far:
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: They are far from thy law.
They draw near who follow after wrong thinking and persecute me with wickedness; they are far from Your law.
They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.
The people who love to plot wicked schemes are nearby, but they are so far from your Instruction!
For dogs have compass'd me about: the wicked, that did meet In their assembly, me inclos'd; they pierc'd my hands and feet.
When as mine enemies and foes, most wicked persons all, To eat my flesh against me rose, they stumbled and did fall.
Sith thou instruction hat'st, which should thy ways direct; And sith my words behind thy back thou cast'st, and dost reject.
