Wicked

A Psalm of David.

Do not fret because of evildoers,

Be not envious toward wrongdoers.

You have swept them away like a flood, they

fall asleep;

In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

“Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength,
They were dismayed and put to shame;
They were as the vegetation of the field and as the green herb,
As grass on the housetops is scorched before it is grown up.

A voice says, “Call out.”
Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”

All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.

and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

For,
“All flesh is like grass,
And all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
And the flower falls off,

Workers

Behold, these are the wicked;
And always at ease, they have increased in wealth.

“The tents of the destroyers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure,

Whom God brings into their power.

“Why do the wicked still live,
Continue on, also become very powerful?

Righteous are You, O Lord, that I would plead my case with You;

Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You:
Why has the way of the wicked prospered?
Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?

So now we call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up but they also test God and escape.’”

“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.”

It is that

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

Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to

destruction.

Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

“For the waywardness of the naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.

In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;
Toward evening it fades and withers away.
