The scriptures ask us to love. To love our enemies. Part of that is wishing them well. Hoping that good things come to them. Seeing the best in them and praying for them. It is never right to hope that bad things happen to people who have hurt you.
Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them. Prov 24:17-28
Even if someone has hurt you, God still loves them. God still considers that person his child. Look past what they did to you and love them- that is exactly what God is doing- to them, and to you. He looks past the wrong that we have done and loves us.
love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Mt. 5:44-45
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
