I have seen a wicked, violent man [with great power]
Spreading and flaunting himself like a cedar in its native soil,

You water its furrows abundantly,
You smooth its ridges;
You soften it with showers,
You bless its growth.

There will be an abundance of grain in the soil on the top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like [the cedars of] Lebanon,
And those of the city will flourish like grass of the earth.

As when the one plows and breaks open the ground [and the soil scatters behind him],
Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol [by the injustices of the wicked].
