My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned: (Then) spake I with my tongue:
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; My spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
