Psalms 37:34-40 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

34. Wait for the Lord and keep His way,and He will exalt you to inherit the land.You will watch when the wicked are destroyed.

35. I have seen a wicked, violent manwell-rooted like a flourishing native tree.

36. Then I passed by and noticed he was gone;I searched for him, but he could not be found.

37. Watch the blameless and observe the upright,for the man of peace will have a future.

38. But transgressors will all be eliminated;the future of the wicked will be destroyed.

39. The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord,their refuge in a time of distress.

40. The Lord helps and delivers them;He will deliver them from the wicked and will save thembecause they take refuge in Him.
