The desire for the removal of sinners aligns with the prophetic vision of a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells (<a href="/2_peter/3-13.htm">2 Peter 3:13</a>). It also connects to the eschatological hope found in <a href="/revelation/21-27.htm">Revelation 21:27</a>, where nothing impure will enter the New Jerusalem. The psalmist's plea is not merely for punishment but for the restoration of God's perfect order, reminiscent of the pre-fall state in Genesis.<p><b>and the wicked be no more.</b><br>The eradication of wickedness is a recurring theme in Scripture, emphasizing God's holiness and justice. This phrase underscores the biblical narrative of God's judgment against evil, as seen in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) and the flood narrative (Genesis 6-9). It also points to the ultimate defeat of evil prophesied in <a href="/revelation/20-10.htm">Revelation 20:10</a>, where Satan and his followers are cast into the lake of fire. The longing for the wicked to be no more is a call for divine intervention and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth.<p><b>Bless the LORD, O my soul.</b><br>This call to bless the LORD is a personal and communal act of worship, reflecting a heart of gratitude and reverence. It is a response to God's majesty and works, as detailed throughout <a href="/psalms/104.htm">Psalm 104</a>. The phrase is a reminder of the psalmist's earlier exhortation in <a href="/psalms/103.htm">Psalm 103:1-2</a>, where the soul is urged to remember all of God's benefits. It signifies an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and goodness, encouraging believers to maintain a posture of worship regardless of circumstances.<p><b>Hallelujah!</b><br>The term "Hallelujah" is a Hebrew expression meaning "Praise the LORD." It serves as a fitting conclusion to the psalm, encapsulating the themes of creation, providence, and divine justice. This exclamation is found frequently in the Psalms and is a call to communal praise, inviting all creation to join in worship. In the New Testament, "Hallelujah" is prominently featured in <a href="/revelation/19.htm">Revelation 19</a>, celebrating God's final victory over evil. It is a declaration of faith and hope in God's ultimate plan for redemption and restoration.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/sinners_and_the_wicked.htm">Sinners and the Wicked</a></b><br>This refers to those who live in opposition to God's will and righteousness.

The truth seems to be that from a religious hymn of Israel, since religion and patriotism were one, the expression of the national feeling against heathen oppressors and apostates who sided with them could not well be absent, whatever its immediate subject and tone. But the poet touches even a profounder truth.<span class= "note">[19]</span> The harmony of creation was soon broken by sin, and the harmony of the song of creation would hardly be complete, or rather, would be false and unreal, did not a discord make itself heard. The form such a suggestion would take was conditioned by the nationality of the poet; the spirit of it brings this ancient hymn at its close into accord with the feeling of modern literature, as reflected in Wordsworth's well-known "Verses Written in Early Spring":--<p><span class= "note">[19] In reality the power of sin to interfere with God's pleasure. in His universe is present as an undercurrent of thought in Psalms 103, as well as 104.
