5 His ways are always prosperous;

your laws are rejected by him;

he sneers at all his enemies.

6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”

He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”

5 His ways are always grievous;

Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:

As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved:

For I shall never be in adversity.

5 Yet they succeed in everything they do.

They do not see your punishment awaiting them.

They sneer at all their enemies.

6 They think, “Nothing bad will ever happen to us!

We will be free of trouble forever!”

5 His ways are always prospering;

Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;

As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

6 He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;

I shall never be in adversity.”

5 They always succeed.

They are far from keeping your laws;

they make fun of their enemies.

6 They say to themselves, “Nothing bad will ever happen to me;

I will never be ruined.”

5 His ways are firm at all times;

Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:

As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved;

To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

5 His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them. 6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity.

5 He always seems to succeed. 

Your judgments are beyond his understanding. 

He spits at all his opponents. 

6 He says to himself, “Nothing can shake me. 

I’ll never face any trouble.” 

5 His ways are always secure;

Your lofty judgments are beyond his sight;

he scoffs at all his adversaries.

6 He says to himself, “I will never be moved—

from generation to generation without calamity.”

5 Their ways prosper at all times;

your judgments are on high, out of their sight;

as for their foes, they scoff at them.

6 They think in their heart, “We shall not be moved;

throughout all generations we shall not meet adversity.”

5 His ways endure at all times.

Your judgments are aloof from him.

As for all his enemies, he scoffs at them.

6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved

throughout all generations, during which I will have no trouble.”

5 Everything always goes well for him.

So he is proud.

He doesn’t want to have anything to do with God’s laws.

He makes fun of all of his enemies.

6 He says to himself, “I will always be secure.

I will always be happy. I’ll never have any trouble.”

5 His ways prosper at all times;

Your judgments are on high, out of his sight;

As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.

6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved;

Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity.”
