Proverbs 11:10
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

God gives favor among men with His righteous ones, and the community rejoices when they are blessed. When such men are encouraged and advanced into places of power and trust, the city rejoiceth; the citizens or subjects of that government rejoice, because they confidently expect justice and tranquillity, and many other benefits, by their administration of public affairs.

When the wicked perish, there is jubilation: As much as the community rejoices over the blessing of the righteous, they also celebrate the calamity and end of the wicked. Wicked men and women are not missed when they pass.

When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, men go into hiding. (Proverbs 28:12)

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. (Proverbs 29:2)

Application

Remember all who helped you to be righteous from childhood days and thank God for them. If possible send a thank you note to them.
