| 10But you have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the finest oil. | 10But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. |
| 11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents. | 11And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. |
| 12But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. | 12The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| 13For they are transplanted to the LORD’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. | 13Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God. |
