34. Hope in the Lordand keep his way.He will exalt you to inherit the land;when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
35. I have seen a wicked and ruthless manflourishing like a luxuriant native tree,
36. but he soon passed away and was no more;though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37. Consider the blameless, observe the upright;a future awaits those who seek peace.
38. But all sinners will be destroyed;there will be no future for the wicked.
39. The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;he is their stronghold in 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.
