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 watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
33
The LORD will not abandon him to his power, or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34
Wait for the LORD, and keep to his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land; you will look on the destruction of the wicked.
35
I have seen a wicked man overbearing, and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.
36
Again I passed by, and, lo, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.
37
Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is posterity for the man of peace.
38
But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the posterity of the wicked shall be cut off.
39
The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their refuge in the time of trouble.
40
The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
