35. I have seen ruthless evil mengrowing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.
36. But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared!I looked for them, but they could not be found.
37. Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly!For the one who promotes peace has a future.
38. Sinful rebels are totally destroyed;evil men have no future.
39. But the Lord delivers the godly;he protects them in times of trouble.
40. The Lord helps them and rescues them;he rescues them from evil men and delivers them,for they seek his protection.
