7. That though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to be destroyed forever.
8. But You, Lord, are on high forever.
9. For behold, Your adversaries, O Lord, for behold, Your enemies shall perish; all the evildoers shall be scattered.
10. But my horn (emblem of excessive strength and stately grace) You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11. My eye looks upon those who lie in wait for me; my ears hear the evildoers that rise up against me.
12. The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible].
