The wicked sees and is angry; gnashes his teeth and wastes away; the desire of the wicked come to nothing.
Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure,
Then the just will be glad; they will rejoice before God; they will celebrate with great joy.
The desire of the just ends only in good; the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

The sin of the wicked is a trap, but the just run along joyfully.
Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer.
