34 (A)Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the (B)wicked are eliminated, you will see it.

35 I have (C)seen a wicked, violent person
Spreading himself like a (D)luxuriant [a]tree in its native soil.
36 Then he passed away, and behold, he (E)was no more;
I searched for him, but he could not be found.
37 Observe the [b](F)blameless person, and look at the (G)upright;
For the person of peace will have (H)a future.
38 But wrongdoers will altogether be (I)destroyed;
The future of the wicked will be (J)eliminated.
39 But the (K)salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength (L)in time of trouble.
40 (M)The Lord helps them and rescues them;
He (N)rescues them from the wicked and saves them,
Because they (O)take refuge in Him.
