28 The wicked flee when no one pursues them,
But the righteous are as bold as a lion.^(A)

⁴ 
Those who ^[a]set aside the law [of God and man] praise the wicked,
But those who keep the law [of God and man] struggle with them.^(A)

¹² 
When the righteous triumph, there is great glory and celebration;
But when the wicked rise [to prominence], men hide themselves.

²⁸ 
When the wicked rise [to power], men hide themselves;
But when the wicked perish, the [consistently] righteous increase and become great.^(A)

² 
When the righteous are in authority and become great, the people rejoice;
But when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.
