35. I have seen a wicked, violent manwell-rooted like a flourishing native tree.
36. Then I passed by and noticed he was gone;I searched for him, but he could not be found.
37. Watch the blameless and observe the upright,for the man of peace will have a future.
38. But transgressors will all be eliminated;the future of the wicked will be destroyed.
39. The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord,their refuge in a time of distress.
40. The Lord helps and delivers them;He will deliver them from the wicked and will save thembecause they take refuge in Him.
