9 Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers -

9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

10 those who do evil all the time and are always ready to take bribes.

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

12 I am safe from all dangers; in the assembly of his people I praise the Lord.

12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
