32
Those who are evil hide and wait for godly people. They are trying to kill them.
33
But the LORD will not leave the godly in their power. He will not let them be found guilty when they are brought into court.
34
Wait for the LORD to act. Live as he wants you to. He will honor you by giving you the land. When sinners are cut off from it, you will see it.
35
I saw a mean and sinful person. He was doing well, like a green tree in its own soil.
36
But he soon passed away and was gone. Even though I looked for him, I couldn't find him.
37
Think about those who are without blame. Look at those who are honest. A man who loves peace will have a tomorrow.
38
But all sinners will be destroyed. Those who are evil won't have a tomorrow. They will be cut off from the land.
39
The LORD saves those who do what is right. He is their place of safety when trouble comes.
40
The LORD helps them and saves them. He saves them from sinful people because they go to him for safety.

Psalm 37:32-40 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 37
\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm, it is very probable, was written at the same time, and upon the same occasion, with the former; and describes the different states of good and bad men; and is full of exhortations, instructions, and advice to the people of God; intermixed with various encouraging promises. A late learned writer {h} thinks it was written for Mephibosheth's consolation under Ziba's calumny. {h} Delaney's Life of King David, vol. 2. p. 219.
