Psalms 37:32-40

32The wicked lies in wait for the righteous, seeking to slay him.

33But Adonai will not leave him in his hand, or let him be condemned when judged.

34Wait for Adonai and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a leafy tree in native soil.

36But once he passed by, he was no more. Though I looked for him, he could not be found.

37Notice the man of integrity and watch the upright— for the man of shalom has a future.

38But transgressors will be destroyed altogether. The future of the wicked will be cut off.

39Yet the salvation of the righteous is from Adonai. He is their stronghold in time of trouble.

40Adonai helps them and delivers them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them— because they take refuge in Him.
