Psalms 37:32-40

32The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death.

33The Lord will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.

34Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off.

35I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree.

36But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.

37Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

38But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.

39The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

40The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
