When the wicked thrive, wrongdoing increases, but the righteous will see their downfall.
But You exalted my horn like that of a wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
You will only look on with your eyes and see the wicked paid back.
Even before your pots can feel a thorn —whether alive or ablaze— He will sweep the wicked away.
But once he passed by, he was no more. Though I looked for him, he could not be found.
Wait for Adonai and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
When the righteous thrive, people rejoice. When the wicked rule, people groan.
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you kedoshim, emissaries and prophets! For God has judged her condemnation of you!”
Who shall not fear and glorify Your name, O Lord? For You alone are Holy. All the nations shall come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed!”
His heart is secure, he will not fear— until he gazes on his foes.
But You, Adonai, are exalted forever.
The righteous one considers the house of the wicked, throwing the wicked down to their ruin.
