⁵ His ways seem always to be successful;
    Your judgments, too, seem far beyond him, out of his reach.
    He looks down on all his enemies.
⁶ In his heart he has decided, “Nothing will faze me.
    From generation to generation I will not face trouble.”

⁷ His mouth is full of curses, lies, and oppression.^[a]
    Beneath his tongue lie trouble and wickedness.
