6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this:

A stupid person cannot know and a fool cannot understand
7 when the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed for ever;

8 but Thou, LORD, art Most High for evermore.
8
But you, O LORD, are highly honored forever.
9 For lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, for lo, Thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

11 Mine eye also shall see what I desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear what I desire upon the wicked that rise up against me.

My eyes gloat over those who spy on me. My ears hear [the cries] of evildoers attacking me.

Even when they are old, they still bear fruit. They are always healthy and fresh.
15 that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
