Psalms 37:27-33

27Turn away from evil! Do what is right! Then you will enjoy lasting security.

28For the Lord promotes justice, and never abandons his faithful followers. They are permanently secure, but the children of evil men are wiped out.

29The godly will possess the land and will dwell in it permanently.

30The godly speak wise words and promote justice.

31The law of their God controls their thinking; their feet do not slip.

32Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them.

33But the Lord does not surrender the godly, or allow them to be condemned in a court of law.
