32The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him. 33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. 35I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil. 36But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found. 37Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace. 38As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. 40The LORD helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
