⁴¹ Then he will also say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!

⁴⁶ And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

¹ For the music director. Of David. A psalm.*
O Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me. ² You know my sitting down and my rising up. You understand my thought from afar.
