Righteous people will see what has happened,
    and they will be afraid.[a]
Then they will laugh at the wicked person,
    and they will say,
‘Look! This man did not trust God to keep him safe.
    Instead, he trusted in his riches.
He thought that he could be cruel,
    and that would keep him safe.’
But I am like a strong olive tree
    that grows in the house of God.
I will always trust in God's faithful love for his people.
