28. For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
29. But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
30. The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment.
31. The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
32. The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
33. But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
34. Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
35. I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
36. And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found.
37. Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
38. But the unjust shall be destroyed together: the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
39. But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
