Take away any desire to do evil.
    Keep me from joining the wicked in doing wrong.
    Help me stay away from their feasts.
If good people correct me,
    I will consider it a good thing.
If they criticize me,
    I will accept it like a warm welcome.[a]
But my prayer will always be against the wicked and the evil they do.
Let their judges be put to death.[b]
    Then everyone will know that I told the truth.
