12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.
12 When good people are promoted, everything is great, but when the bad are in charge, watch out!
12 When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory; But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.
12 When the godly succeed, everyone is glad. When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding.
