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.
40. And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
