7	מַדּ֣וּעַ רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִחְי֑וּ עָ֝תְק֗וּ גַּם־ גָּ֥בְרוּ חָֽיִל׃	Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?	Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?
8	זַרְעָ֤ם נָכ֣וֹן לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם עִמָּ֑ם וְ֝צֶאֱצָאֵיהֶ֗ם לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃	Their offspring are established in their presence, and their descendants before their eyes.	They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes.
9	בָּתֵּיהֶ֣ם שָׁל֣וֹם מִפָּ֑חַד וְלֹ֤א שֵׁ֖בֶט אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃	Their houses are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them.	Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not on them.
10	שׁוֹר֣וֹ עִ֭בַּר וְלֹ֣א יַגְעִ֑ל תְּפַלֵּ֥ט פָּ֝רָת֗וֹ וְלֹ֣א תְשַׁכֵּֽל׃	Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry.	Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11	יְשַׁלְּח֣וּ כַ֭צֹּאן עֲוִילֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝יַלְדֵיהֶ֗ם יְרַקֵּדֽוּן׃	They send out their little boys like a flock, and their children dance.	They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about.
12	יִ֭שְׂאוּ כְּתֹ֣ף וְכִנּ֑וֹר וְ֝יִשְׂמְח֗וּ לְק֣וֹל עוּגָֽב׃	They sing to the tambourine and the lyre and rejoice to the sound of the pipe.	They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre; they make merry to the sound of the pipe.
13	[יבלו] (יְכַלּ֣וּ) בַטּ֣וֹב יְמֵיהֶ֑ם וּ֝בְרֶ֗גַע שְׁא֣וֹל יֵחָֽתּוּ׃	They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol.	They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.
14	וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לָ֭אֵל ס֣וּר מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְדַ֥עַת דְּ֝רָכֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א חָפָֽצְנוּ׃	They say to God, ‘Depart from us! We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.	Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways.
15	מַה־ שַׁדַּ֥י כִּֽי־ נַֽעַבְדֶ֑נּוּ וּמַה־ נּ֝וֹעִ֗יל כִּ֣י נִפְגַּע־ בּֽוֹ׃	What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?’	Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?’
