and keep his way.(B)
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed,(C) you will see(D) it.

flourishing(E) 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.(F)

Psalm 37:34-40
King James Version
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
