34Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; For there is a [happy] end to the man of peace.
38As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them; He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him. Psalm 38 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
