³² Those who are evil wait in ambush for righteous people in order to kill them as they walk by.

³³ But Yahweh will not abandon righteous people, and allow ◄them to fall into their enemies' hands/their enemies harm them►. And he will not allow righteous people to be condemned when someone takes them to a judge to be put on trial.

³⁴ Be patient and trust that Yahweh will help you, and ◄walk on his paths/do what he wants you to do►. If you do that, he will honor you by giving you the land that he promised, and when he gets rid of the wicked, you will see it happen.

³⁵ I have seen that wicked people who ◄act like tyrants/terrify people► sometimes prosper, like trees that grow well in fertile soil,

³⁶ when I looked later, they were gone! I searched for them, but Yahweh had caused them to disappear.

³⁷ Notice the people who have not done evil things, those who act righteously: their descendants will have peace in their inner beings.

³⁸ But Yahweh will get rid of the wicked; he will also get rid of their descendants (OR, as a result, they will not have any descendants).
