* Righteous are You , O LORD , when I plead with You ; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments . Why does the way of the wicked prosper ? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously ? * You have planted them , yes , they have taken root ; They grow , yes , they bear fruit . You are near in their mouth But far from their mind . * But You , O LORD , know me ; You have seen me , And You have tested my heart toward You . Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter , And prepare them for the day of slaughter . * How long will the land mourn , And the herbs of every field wither ? The beasts and birds are consumed , For the wickedness of those who dwell there , Because they said , "He will not see our final end ."
