The psalmist asserts that evil will slay the wicked and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The verb "slay" suggests that evil itself becomes the instrument of the wicked's destruction, a principle of moral retribution. The affirmation that those who hate the righteous ''will be condemned'' suggests that hostility toward the righteous will not go unpunished. The verse establishes that wickedness carries within it seeds of self-destruction.
