Psalm 37:27-40
27 Depart from evil and do good, So you will dwell forever.
28 For Yahweh loves justice And will not forsake His holy ones; They are kept forever, But the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
29 The righteous will inherit the land And dwell in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip.
32 The wicked spies upon the righteous And seeks to put him to death.
33 Yahweh will not forsake him in his hand; He will not condemn him when he is judged.
34 Hope for Yahweh and keep His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.
36 Then he passed away, and behold, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.
37 Observe the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity.
38 But transgressors will be altogether destroyed; The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh; He is their strength in time of distress.
40 Yahweh helps them and protects them; He protects them from the wicked and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.
