6 A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not understand this—
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
7 When the wicked flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.

10 And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil.

11 And my eye looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in Lebanon.

14 Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
