32Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
and seek to slay them,
33the LORD will not leave them in their power
or let them be condemned under judgment.
34Wait for the LORD and keep His way,
and He will raise you up to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off,
you will see it.
35I have seen a wicked, ruthless man
flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,
36yet he passed away and was no more;
though I searched, he could not be found.
37Consider the blameless and observe the upright,
for posterity awaits the man of peace.
38But the transgressors will all be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.
39The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;
He is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40The LORD helps and delivers them;
He rescues and saves them from the wicked,
because they take refuge in Him.
— Psalm 37:32-40
