A church father on this verse
“Therefore, in regard to the latter, David also says, "They have ceased to be and have perished by reason of their iniquity as the dream of one that wakes up." This means: The wicked cease to be, and they disappear as a dream does when one first wakes up from sleep, "because they are in darkness and have walked in dark…”

19Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to thee: Forget not forever the souls of thy poor.
