7 Why do the wicked live on,growing old and increasing in power?
8 They see their children established around them,their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear;the rod of God is not on them.
10 Their bulls never fail to breed;their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11 They send forth their children as a flock;their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the music of tambourine and lyre;they make merry to the sound of the pipe.
13 They spend their years in prosperityand go down to the grave in peace.
