Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield (but) an ephah.
Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge (is ready) for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.
