'Ungodly' in the Bible
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example],Nor stand in the path of sinners,Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers).
For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,But the way of the wicked shall perish.
Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
Judge and vindicate me, O God; plead my case against an ungodly nation.O rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man!
Be not afraid when [an ungodly] man becomes rich,When the wealth and glory of his house are increased;
The wicked are estranged from the womb;These go astray from birth, speaking lies [even twisted partial truths].
Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly,From the scheming of those who do wrong,
Behold, these are the ungodly,Who always prosper and are at ease [in the world]; they have increased in wealth.
All the horns of the wicked He will cut off,But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
He will cut off the spirit of princes;He is awesome and feared by the kings of the earth.
