34. Wait for the Lord and keep his way,and he will exalt you to inherit the land;you will look on when the wicked are cut off.
35. I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,spreading himself like a green laurel tree.
36. But he passed away, and behold, he was no more;though I sought him, he could not be found.
37. Mark the blameless and behold the upright,for there is a future for the man of peace.
38. But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39. The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,because they take refuge in him.
