Psalms 37:30-40
30
The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks what is just.
31
The law of his God is in his heart;
his feet do not slip.
32
The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
seeking their very lives;
33
but the Lord will not leave them in their power
or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34
Wait for the Lord
and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
35
I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
36
but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37
Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
there is a future for the man of peace.
38
But all sinners will be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.
39
The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
