The hope of the righteous {shall be} gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

He beholdeth all high {things}: he {is} a king over all the children of pride.

O death, where {is} thy sting? O grave, where {is} thy victory? {grave: or, hell}

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. {shall come...: Heb. shall not be}

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope {shall be as} the giving up of the ghost. {they shall...: Heb. flight shall perish from them} {the giving...: or, a puff of breath}

For the morning {is} to them even as the shadow of death: if {one} know {them, they are in} the terrors of the shadow of death.

My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

The wicked shall see {it}, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust {shall be} a spider's web. {web: Heb. house}

They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. {shall come...: Heb. shall not be}

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

So {are} the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

The righteous {man} wisely considereth the house of the wicked: {but God} overthroweth the wicked for {their} wickedness.

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope {shall be as} the giving up of the ghost. {they shall...: Heb. flight shall perish from them} {the giving...: or, a puff of breath}

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of {thy} dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. {destroy...: Heb. beat thee down}
