6 The tents of robbers are at peace,+

And those who provoke God are secure,+

Those who have their god in their hands.

 7 Keep silent before Jehovah+

And wait expectantly* for him.

Do not be upset by the man

Who succeeds in carrying out his schemes.+

 3 For I became envious of the arrogant*

When I would see the peace of the wicked.+

12 You are righteous, O Jehovah,+ when I make my complaint to you,

When I speak about matters of justice with you.

But why is the way of wicked ones successful,+

And why are the treacherous unworried?
