His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.
But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial `name' unto all generations.
Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
`They are' dead, they shall not live; `they are' deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish.
