Psalms 112:10
The wicked man will see and be grieved;

In context

1Hallelujah! 2His descendants will be mighty in the land; 3Wealth and riches are in his house, 4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright — 5It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, 6Surely he will never be shaken; 7He does not fear bad news; 8His heart is assured; he does not fear, 9He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; 10The wicked man will see and be grieved;
