7When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever. 8But You, Lord, are on high forevermore. For behold, Your enemies, O Lord, For behold, Your enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. 11My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies; My ears hear my desire on the wicked Who rise up against me.
