Context

29The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.

30The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
And his tongue speaks justice.

31The law of his God is in his heart;
His steps do not slip.

32The wicked spies upon the righteous
And seeks to kill him.

33The LORD will not leave him in his hand
Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

34Wait for the LORD and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35I have seen a wicked, violent man
Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

36Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought for him, but he could not be found.

37Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;
For the man of peace will have a posterity.

38But transgressors will be altogether destroyed;
The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.

39But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;
He is their strength in time of trouble.

40The LORD helps them and delivers them;
He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
Because they take refuge in Him.
