34. Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall 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 the latter end of that man is peace.
38. As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the latter end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39. But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strong hold in the time of trouble.
40. And the LORD helpeth them, and rescueth them: he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in him.
