^5 (A)They are not in trouble as other men,
Nor are they plagued like other men.

¹² Behold, these are the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase in riches.

⁹ Their houses are safe from fear,
^(A)Neither is ^[a]the rod of God upon them.

12 Righteous ^(A)are You, O Lord, when I plead with You;
Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments.
^(B)Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?
² You have planted them, yes, they have taken root;
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
^(C)You are near in their mouth
But far from their ^[a]mind.

⁶ Even when I remember I am terrified,
And trembling takes hold of my flesh.
