<p>This tells us what <i>the desire</i> and <i>expectation of the righteous</i> and <i>of the wicked</i> are and how they will prove, what they would have and what they shall have. 1. <i>The righteous</i> would have <i>good, only good</i>; all they desire is that it may go well with all about them; they wish no hurt to any, but happiness to all; as to themselves, their desire is not to gratify any evil lust, but to obtain the favour of a good God and to preserve the peace of a good conscience; and good they shall have, that good which they desire, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.37.4" href="/passage/?search=Ps.37.4">Ps. 37:4</a>. 2. <i>The wicked</i> would have <i>wrath</i>; they desire the woeful day, that Gods judgments may gratify their passion and revenge, may remove those that stand in their way, and that they may make an advantage to themselves by fishing in troubled waters; and wrath they shall have, so shall their doom be. They expect and desire mischief to others, but it shall return upon themselves; as they loved cursing, they shall have enough of it.</p>
