Psalm 37:30-40
New Life Version
30 The mouth of the man who is right with God speaks wisdom. And his tongue speaks what is fair and right. 31 The Law of his God is in his heart. His steps do not leave it. 32 The sinful lie in wait for the man who is right with God, and want to kill him. 33 The Lord will not leave him in his power. He will not let him be found guilty when he is judged. 34 Wait for the Lord. Keep His way. And He will give you a high place to receive the land. When the sinful are cut off, you will see it.
35 I have seen a very sinful man spreading himself like a green tree in its home land. 36 Then he passed away and was no more. I looked for him. But he could not be found. 37 Look at the man without blame. And watch the man who is right and good. For the man of peace will have much family to follow him. 38 But all the sinners will be destroyed. The family of the sinful will be cut off. 39 But the saving of those who are right with God is from the Lord. He is their strength in time of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them and takes them out of trouble. He takes them away from the sinful, and saves them, because they go to Him for a safe place.

Psalm 37:30-40
New International Version
30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,(A)
and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;(B)
their feet do not slip.(C)
32 The wicked lie in wait(D) for the righteous,(E)
intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
or let them be condemned(F) when brought to trial.(G)
34 Hope in the Lord(H)
and keep his way.(I)
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed,(J) you will see(K) it.
35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing(L) like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.(M)
