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

37 Do^(A) not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.

² For they shall soon be cut down ^(A)like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.

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.
^(A)You are near in their mouth
But far from their ^[a]mind.
