Psalms 37:27-36

²⁷Depart from evil, and do good; So thou shalt dwell in the land for ever.

²⁸For the LORD loveth righteousness, And forsaketh not his servants; They are preserved for ever; But the posterity of the wicked shall be rooted out.

²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land, And shall dwell therein for ever.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh what is right.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart; His footsteps shall not slip.

³²The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him;

³³The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor suffer him to be condemned, when he is judged.

³⁴Trust in the LORD, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to the possession of the land, Whilst thou shalt see the destruction of the wicked!

³⁵I have seen a wicked man in great power, And spreading himself like a green cedar;

³⁶But he passed away, and, lo! he was no more; Yea, I sought him, but he was not found.
