The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: If (it be) not (he), who then is it?
Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?
Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.
Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
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?
