The hopeof the righteousis gladness,But the expectationof the wickedperishes.
"But the eyesof the wickedwill fail,And there will be noescapefor them; And their hopeis to breathetheir last."
"Soare the pathsof allwhoforgetGod;And the hopeof the godlesswill perish,
The wickedwill seeit and be vexed,He will gnashhis teethand meltaway;The desireof the wickedwill perish.
Thereforemy heartis gladand my gloryrejoices;My fleshalsowill dwellsecurely.
Singto God,singpraisesto His name;Liftup [a song] for Him who ridesthrough the deserts,Whose nameis the LORD,and exultbeforeHim.
The desireof the righteousis onlygood,[But] the expectationof the wickedis wrath.
When a wickedmandies,[his] expectationwill perish,And the hopeof strongmenperishes.
The wickedis thrustdownby his wrongdoing,But the righteoushasa refugewhen he dies.
By transgressionan evilmanis ensnared,But the righteoussingsand rejoices.
