“Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.”
The psalmist continues 'But he soon passed away and was no more; though I sought for him, he could not be found.' The promise that the wicked's flourishing is temporary and complete resolution swift provides comfort. The image of searching unsuccessfully for the wicked suggests their complete disappearance. This verse resolves the moment of doubt: the wicked's flourishing is indeed temporary.
