The desire of the righteous is only good; But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness,'shall be wrath and indignation,

The hope of the righteous'shall be gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.

Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes!

With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
