Context of Psalms 37:33
31The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. Yhwh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34Wait on Yhwh, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
