The Key Word — הָפַךְ, ha.Fokhgenerated
The verb הָפַךְ (haphak) means to overturn or change completely, implying a significant transformation. In this verse, it describes the destruction of the wicked, indicating a total reversal of their fortunes.
The use of the infinitive absolute form emphasizes the certainty and finality of this action. The wicked are not merely defeated; they are fundamentally overthrown, suggesting a complete and utter end to their existence.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses overthrown and perish for the wicked, and will stand for the righteous.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of two main clauses connected by 'but'. The finite verb הָפ֣וֹךְ (overthrown) governs the first clause, which describes the fate of the wicked, while the second clause features the verb יַעֲמֹֽד (will stand) that describes the enduring nature of the righteous.
The structure highlights the contrast between the two groups, with the wicked's downfall emphasized through the first clause and the stability of the righteous in the second.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates רְשָׁעִ֣ים as ἀσεβὴς (asebēs), which carries the meaning of 'ungodly' or 'wicked'. This choice reflects a broader interpretation of moral failure beyond mere actions.
The LXX's use of οἶκοι for בַּיִת suggests a focus on the household or community aspect of the righteous, emphasizing the collective nature of their endurance.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

pe'-p'-l: In English Versions of the Bible represents something over a dozen Hebrew and Greek words. Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question. So, for instance, in Ps…
