⁵ How great are your works, Lord!
    Your thoughts are unfathomable.^[a]
6 A stupid man doesn’t know,
    and a fool can’t comprehend this:
⁷ Though the wicked sprout like grass;
    and all who practice iniquity flourish,
        it is they who will be eternally destroyed.
⁸ But you are exalted forever, Lord.

⁹ Look at your enemies, Lord!
    Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed;
        everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered.^[b]
10 You’ve grown my strength^[c] like the horn of a wild ox;
    I was anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹ My eyes gloated over those who lie in wait for me;^[d]
    when those of evil intent attack me, my ears will hear.

¹² The righteous will flourish like palm trees;
    they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ Planted in the Lord’s Temple,
    they will flourish in the courtyard of our God.
¹⁴ They will still bear fruit even in old age;^[e]
    they will be luxuriant and green.
¹⁵ They will proclaim: “The Lord is upright;
    my rock, in whom there is no injustice.”
