32 The wicked watches the righteous,
and seeks to slay him.

you will look on the destruction of the wicked.

and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.[a]

though I sought him, he could not be found.

32 Wicked people watch good people
and try to kill them;
33 but the Lord will not abandon them to their enemy's power
or let them be condemned when they are on trial.
34 Put your hope in the Lord and obey his commands;
he will honor you by giving you the land,
and you will see the wicked driven out.
35 I once knew someone wicked who was a tyrant;
he towered over everyone like a cedar of Lebanon;[a]

I looked for him, but couldn't find him.
