יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ ע֤וֹד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
願罪人從地上滅絕，願惡人不再存在。我的靈魂啊，要稱頌永恆者！你們要讚美永恆者！

For R. Judah, the son of R. Simeon b. Pazzi, has said : David composed one hundred and three Psalms, and did not say Hallelujah until he had seen the overthrow of the wicked ; as it is said, "Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Hallelujah" (ibid, civ, 35).

There were some lawless men living in the neighbourhood of R. Meir, and they used to vex him sorely. Once R. Meir prayed that they should die. His wife, Beruriah, exclaimed, "What thinkest thou? Is it because it is written, 'Let sinners cease out of the earth'? But has the text hoteim? It is written hata'im.

David looked upon the overthrow of the wicked and composed a song ; as it is said, "Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Hallelujah" (ibid. civ. 35).
