“But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
Yet he filled their houses with good things— but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
He gives them security, and they are supported; and his eyes are upon their ways.
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges— if it is not he, who then is it?
from men by thy hand, O Lord, from men whose portion in life is of the world. May their belly be filled with what thou hast stored up for them; may their children have more than enough; may they leave something over to their babes.
Fret not yourself because of the wicked, be not envious of wrongdoers!
I have seen a wicked man overbearing, and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.
For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
that, though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction for ever,
Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I complain to thee; yet I would plead my case before thee. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive?
Like a basket full of birds, their houses are full of treachery; therefore they have become great and rich,
they have grown fat and sleek. They know no bounds in deeds of wickedness; they judge not with justice the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
Then they sweep by like the wind and go on, guilty men, whose own might is their god!
