Psalms 37:29-35 Common English Bible (CEB)

29. The righteous will possess the land;they will live on it forever.

30. The mouths of the righteous recite wisdom;their tongues discuss justice.

31. The Instruction of their God is in their hearts;they don’t miss a step.

32. The wicked, on the other hand, target the righteous,seeking to kill them.

33. But the Lord won’t leave the righteousto the power of the wicked,and won’t let the righteousbe found guilty when they are judged.

34. Hope in the Lord and keep his way!He will lift you up so you can possess the land.When the wicked are eliminated,you will see it for yourself!

35. I myself have seen wicked powerful people,exalting themselves like a stately cedar.
