37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
38 (A)But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength (B)in the time of trouble.
40 And (C)the Lord shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
(D)Because they trust in Him.
