6 Here is something a man who isn't wise doesn't know. Here is what a foolish person doesn't understand.
7 Those who are evil spring up like grass. Those who do wrong succeed. But they will be destroyed forever.
8 But Lord, you are honored forever.
9 Lord, your enemies will certainly die. All those who do evil will be scattered.
10 You have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have poured the finest olive oil on me.
11 I've seen my evil enemies destroyed. I've heard that they have lost the battle.
12 Those who do what is right will grow like a palm tree. They will grow strong like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
