¹⁸ Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

¹⁶ Indeed ^[a]their prosperity is not in their hand;
^(A)The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

^6 (A)The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.

⁷ The Lord ^(A)makes poor and makes rich;
^(B)He brings low and lifts up.

² You have planted them, yes, they have taken root;
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
^(A)You are near in their mouth
But far from their ^[a]mind.

¹⁴ With Your hand from men, O Lord,
From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

1 Blessed ^(A)is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ^[a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
^(B)Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
