Psalms 37:35-40 ▼

35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

36 Then he passed away, and behold, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.

37 Observe the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity.

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

39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh; He is their strength in time of distress.

40 Yahweh helps them and protects them; He protects them from the wicked and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.
