New International Reader's Version

Psalm 37:35-39 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

35. I saw a mean and sinful person. He was doing well, like a green tree in its own soil.

36. But he soon passed away and was gone. Even though I looked for him, I couldn't find him.

37. Think about those who are without blame. Look at those who are honest. A man who loves peace will have a tomorrow.

38. But all sinners will be destroyed. Those who are evil won't have a tomorrow. They will be cut off from the land.

39. The Lord saves those who do what is right. He is their place of safety when trouble comes.
