31. They have made God’s law their own,so they will never slip from his path.
32. The wicked wait in ambush for the godly,looking for an excuse to kill them.
33. But the lord will not let the wicked succeedor let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.
34. Put your hope in the lord.Travel steadily along his path.He will honor you by giving you the land.You will see the wicked destroyed.
35. I have seen wicked and ruthless peopleflourishing like a tree in its native soil.
36. But when I looked again, they were gone!Though I searched for them, I could not find them!
37. Look at those who are honest and good,for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.
38. But the rebellious will be destroyed;they have no future.
