Psalms 37:35-40 ▼

35 I have seen a wicked, violent person well-rooted, like a flourishing native tree.

36 Then I passed by and noticed he was gone; I searched for him, but he could not be found.

37 Watch the blameless and observe the upright, for the person of peace will have a future.

38 But transgressors will all be eliminated; the future of the wicked will be destroyed.

39 The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD, their refuge in a time of distress.

40 The LORD helps and delivers them; he will deliver them from the wicked and will save them because they take refuge in him.
