5How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts! | 5How magnificent are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts! |
6Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand, | 6A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this: |
7that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. | 7though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be eternally destroyed. |
8But you, LORD, are forever exalted. | 8But you, LORD, are exalted forever. |
9For surely your enemies, LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. | 9For indeed, LORD, your enemies--indeed, your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. |

13planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. | 13Planted in the house of the LORD, they thrive in the courts of our God. |
14They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, | 14They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green, |
15proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him." | 15to declare: "The LORD is just; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him." |
