^7 (A)Why do the wicked live and become old,
Yes, become mighty in power?

¹³ They ^(A)spend their days in wealth,
And ^[a]in a moment go down to the ^[b]grave.

²⁷ As a cage is full of birds,
So their houses are full of deceit.
Therefore they have become great and grown rich.
²⁸ They have grown ^(A)fat, they are sleek;
Yes, they ^[a]surpass the deeds of the wicked;
They do not plead ^(B)the cause,
The cause of the fatherless;
^(C)Yet they prosper,
And the right of the needy they do not defend.
