26:5 I hate the mob ¹  of evil men,

and do not associate ²  with the wicked.

Mazmur 109:2

109:2 For they say cruel and deceptive things to me;

they lie to me. ³ 

[26:5]  ¹ tn Heb “assembly, company.”

[26:5]  ² tn Heb “sit.” The psalmist uses the imperfect form of the verb to emphasize that he does not make a practice of associating with such people.

[109:2]  ³ tn Heb “for a mouth of evil and a mouth of deceit against me they open, they speak with me [with] a tongue of falsehood.”
