And when all jthe workers of iniquity do klflourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

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

9For, lo, nthine enemies, O Lord,

For, lo, nthine enemies shall perish;

All jthe workers of iniquity shall obe scattered.

10But pmy horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of qan unicorn:

I shall be anointed rwith sfresh oil.

11tMine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies,

And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

12uThe righteous shall kflourish like xthe palm tree:

He shall grow like ya cedar in Lebanon.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

The stupid man cannot know;

the fool cannot understand this:

that though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they are doomed to destruction forever;

but you, O Lord, are on high forever.

For behold, your enemies, O Lord,

for behold, your enemies shall perish;

all evildoers shall be scattered.

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;

you have poured over me fresh oil.

My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;

my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

The righteous flourish like the palm tree

and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

They are planted in the house of the Lord;

they flourish in the courts of our God.

They still bear fruit in old age;

they are ever full of sap and green,

to declare that the Lord is upright;

he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Senseless people do not know,

fools do not understand,

that though the wicked spring up like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

For surely your enemies, Lord,

surely your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

fine oils have been poured on me.

My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;

my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,

they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

planted in the house of the Lord,

they will flourish in the courts of our God.

They will still bear fruit in old age,

they will stay fresh and green,

proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;

he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

A stupid person does not know,

a fool does not understand this:

though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be eternally destroyed.

But you, Lord, are exalted forever.

For indeed, Lord, your enemies—

indeed, your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

You have lifted up my horn

like that of a wild ox;

I have been anointed with the finest oil.

My eyes look at my enemies;

when evildoers rise against me,

my ears hear them.

The righteous thrive like a palm tree

and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

Planted in the house of the Lord,

they thrive in the courts of our God.

They will still bear fruit in old age,

healthy and green,

to declare, “The Lord is just;

he is my rock,

and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

NLTNew Living Translation

Only a simpleton would not know,

and only a fool would not understand this:

Though the wicked sprout like weeds

and evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.

Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.

You have anointed me with the finest oil.

My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;

my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.

But the godly will flourish like palm trees

and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.

For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.

They flourish in the courts of our God.

Even in old age they will still produce fruit;

they will remain vital and green.

They will declare, “The Lord is just!

He is my rock!

There is no evil in him!”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The brutish man does not know,

and the fool cannot understand this.

When the wicked flourish like grass

and all the workers of evil blossom,

it is so they can be destroyed forever.

But you are on high forever, O Yahweh.

For behold, your enemies, O Yahweh,

for behold, your enemies will perish.

All the workers of evil will be scattered.

But you have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

you have anointed me with fresh oil.

And so my eye looks on my enemies.

My ears hear those evildoers who rise up against me.

The righteous will flourish like the date palm.

They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the house of Yahweh,

they will flourish in the courts of our God.

They will still prosper in old age.

They will be fat and luxuriant,

to declare that Yahweh is upright.

He is my rock, and there is no injustice in him.
