The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.
But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent one mocks at them,
Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth and from the hand of the mighty. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.
“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her; that you may nurse and be satisfied from her consoling breast; that you may drink deeply with delight from her glorious abundance.”
The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
But not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’
