    ^(A)The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

^6 (A)The tents of robbers are at peace,
    and those who provoke God are secure,
    who bring their god in their hand.^[a]

^7 (A)The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
    ^(B)he brings low and he exalts.

² You plant them, and they take root;
    they grow and produce fruit;
^(A)you are near in their mouth
    and far from their heart.

¹⁴ from men by your hand, O Lord,
    from ^(A)men of the world whose ^(B)portion is in this life.^[a]
You fill their womb with treasure;^[b]
    they are satisfied with ^(C)children,
    and they leave their abundance to their infants.

1 Blessed is the man^[a]
    who ^(A)walks not in ^(B)the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in ^(C)the way of sinners,
    nor ^(D)sits in ^(E)the seat of ^(F)scoffers;
