Psalms 37:33-40

³³But the Lord will not let them fall into the hands of the wicked, and he will not let those who do good be condemned when they are put on trial.

³⁴Trust in the Lord, and stay on his path. He will lift you up and give you the land to own. You will see when the wicked are destroyed.

³⁵I have watched the wicked acting brutally, spreading like a large tree in its native land.

³⁶But when I passed that way the next time, they were gone. I searched for them but couldn't find them.

³⁷Observe the innocent, look at those who do right! Those who love peace have a future!

³⁸But those who are rebellious will be altogether destroyed; the wicked have no future.

³⁹The Lord saves those who live right; he is their protection in times of trouble.

⁴⁰The Lord helps them and rescues them from the wicked. He saves them because they go to him for protection.
