28. The Lord loves justice,and he will not abandon his godly ones.They will be kept safe forever,but the descendants of wicked people will be cut off.
29. Righteous people will inherit the landand live there permanently.
30. The mouth of the righteous person reflects on wisdom.His tongue speaks what is fair.
31. The teachings of his God are in his heart.His feet do not slip.
32. The wicked person watches the righteous personand seeks to kill him.
33. But the Lord will not abandon him to the wicked person’s poweror condemn him when he is brought to trial.
34. Wait with hope for the Lord, and follow his path,and he will honor you by giving you the land.When wicked people are cut off, you will see it.
35. I have seen a wicked person ⌊acting like⌋ a tyrant,spreading himself out like a large cedar tree.
36. But he moved on, and now there is no trace of him.I searched for him, but he could not be found.
