You prefer evil to good.
    You prefer lying to speaking the truth. Selah

    He will grab you and drag you out of your tent.
    He will pull your roots out of this world of the living. Selah

    He will snatch you up and pluck(D) you from your tent;
    he will uproot(E) you from the land of the living.(F)
