all the sheep and oxen,
as well as the animals in the wild,

Be gracious to me, Lord,
because I am in distress;
my eyes are worn out from angry sorrow—
my whole being as well.

Let those who want my vindication
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

I have seen a wicked, violent man
well-rooted like a flourishing native tree.

Though he praises himself during his lifetime—
and people praise you when you do well for yourself—

They have an easy time until they die,
and their bodies are well fed.

ט TetLord, You have treated Your servant well,
just as You promised.

Guarantee Your servant’s well-being;
do not let the arrogant oppress me.

You will surely eat
what your hands have worked for.
You will be happy,
and it will go well for you.

I will praise You
because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
and I know this very well.

Our cattle will be well fed.
There will be no breach in the walls,
no going into captivity,
and no cry of lament in our public squares.

old and young together.
