American Standard Version

Psalm 37:34-40 American Standard Version (ASV)

34. Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35. I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

36. But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; For there is a happy end to the man of peace.

38. As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39. But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

40. And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them; He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
