The hope of the righteous {\i shall be} gladness;\par\tab But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.\par
So are the paths of all that forget God;\par\tab And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
When a wicked man dieth, {\i his} expectation shall perish;\par\tab And the hope of iniquity perisheth.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;
through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing;\par\tab But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;\par\tab He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:\par\tab The desire of the wicked shall perish.
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,\par\tab And they shall have no way to flee;\par\tab And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.\par
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth;\par\tab My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
The desire of the righteous is only good;\par\tab {\i But} the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:\par\tab Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts;\par\tab His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare;\par\tab But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
