English Standard Version
Psalm 37:34-40
English Standard Version
34 (A)Wait for the Lord and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you will look on (B)when the wicked are cut off.
35 (C)I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like (D)a green laurel tree.[a]
36 But he passed away,[b] and behold, (E)he was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,
for there is a future for the man of (F)peace.
38 But (G)transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;
the future of the wicked (H)shall be cut off.
39 (I)The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in (J)the time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and (K)delivers them;
(L)he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they (M)take refuge in him.
