35 I have seen ruthless evil men growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil. 36 But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared! I looked for them, but they could not be found. 37 Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly! For the one who promotes peace has a future. 38 Sinful rebels are totally destroyed; evil men have no future. 39 But the LORD delivers the godly; he protects them in times of trouble. 40 The LORD helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them, for they seek his protection.
