Psalm 92:6–8

6 Senseless people do not know,

fools do not understand,

7 that though the wicked spring up like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

6 A brutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.

6 Only a simpleton would not know,

and only a fool would not understand this:

7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds

and evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

8 But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.

6 A senseless man does not know,

Nor does a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring up like grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,

It is that they may be destroyed forever.

8 But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.

6 Stupid people don’t know these things,

and fools don’t understand.

7 Wicked people grow like the grass.

Evil people seem to do well,

but they will be destroyed forever.

8 But, Lord, you will be honored forever.

6 A brutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth a fool understand this:

7 When the wicked spring as the grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

8 But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever. 8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

6 A stupid person cannot know 

and a fool cannot understand 

7 that wicked people sprout like grass 

and all troublemakers blossom ⸤like flowers⸥, 

only to be destroyed forever. 

8 But you, O Lord, are highly honored forever. 

6 A stupid person does not know,

a fool does not understand this:

7 though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be eternally destroyed.

8 But You, Lord, are exalted forever.

6 The dullard cannot know;

the stupid cannot understand this:

7 though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they are doomed to destruction forever,

8 but you, O Lord, are on high forever.

6 The brutish man does not know,

and the fool cannot understand this.

7 When the wicked flourish like grass

and all the workers of evil blossom,

it is so they can be destroyed forever.

8 But you are on high forever, O Yahweh.

6 Here is something a man who isn’t wise doesn’t know.

Here is what a foolish person doesn’t understand.

7 Those who are evil spring up like grass.

Those who do wrong succeed.

But they will be destroyed forever.

8 But Lord, you are honored forever.

6 A senseless man has no knowledge,

Nor does a stupid man understand this:

7 That when the wicked sprouted up like grass

And all who did iniquity flourished,

It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

8 But You, O Lord, are on high forever.
