Evil-doers

I have seen a wicked, violent man
Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the

pit of destruction;

Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days.

But I will trust in You.

“When he fills his belly,
God will send His fierce anger on him
And will rain it on him while he is eating.

“This is the portion of a wicked man from God,
And the inheritance which tyrants receive from the Almighty.

And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

And his descendants will inherit the land.

Then you will take delight in the Lord,
And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;
And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

“Then all your people will be righteous;
They will possess the land forever,
The branch of My planting,
The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.

“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”
