([Psalm of David]) Do not be bothered by evildoers. Do not envy those who do wicked things.

You sweep mortals away in the sleep of death. They sprout again in the morning like grass.

Man's days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Their people are drained of power. They are dismayed and put to shame. They are like plants in the field, like tender green shoots, like grass sprouting on the roof, parched before it grows.

A voice shouts: Cry out! And I said: What shall I cry? The voice shouts: All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.

But the rich must be glad when God humbles them. This is because they will wither like wildflowers and pass away.

Workers

Behold, these are the ungodly. They prosper in the world; they increase in wealth.

The tents of marauders prosper and those who provoke God are secure in what God's hand brings them.

Jehovah, if I argued my case with you, you would prove to be right. Indeed, I must question you about matters of justice. Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why do dishonest people succeed with impunity?

We call arrogant people happy. Evil people test God's patience with their wicked deeds. They not only get away with it, they also prosper.

Jehovah of Hosts proclaims: The day is coming when all arrogant and evil people will burn like stubble. On that day they will burn up and there will be nothing left of them, either root or bough.

It is that
