| 7 | Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power? |
| 8 | Their children are established in their presence, and their offspring before their eyes. |
| 9 | Their houses are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them. |
| 10 | Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves, and does not cast her calf. |
| 11 | They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. |
| 12 | They sing to the tambourine and the lyre, and rejoice to the sound of the pipe. |
| 13 | They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol. |
