30. The mouths of those who do what is right speak words of wisdom. They say what is honest.
31. God's law is in their hearts. Their feet do not slip.
32. Those who are evil hide and wait for godly people. They are trying to kill them.
33. But the Lord will not leave the godly in their power. He will not let them be found guilty when they are brought into court.
34. Wait for the Lord to act. Live as he wants you to. He will honor you by giving you the land. When sinners are cut off from it, you will see it.
35. I saw a mean and sinful person. He was doing well, like a green tree in its own soil.
36. But he soon passed away and was gone. Even though I looked for him, I couldn't find him.
37. Think about those who are without blame. Look at those who are honest. A man who loves peace will have a tomorrow.
38. But all sinners will be destroyed. Those who are evil won't have a tomorrow. They will be cut off from the land.
39. The Lord saves those who do what is right. He is their place of safety when trouble comes.
