Psalm 37:33-35

Common English Bible

³³ But the Lord won’t leave the righteous
    to the power of the wicked,
    and won’t let the righteous
    be found guilty when they are judged.

³⁴ Hope in the Lord and keep his way!
    He will lift you up so you can possess the land.
        When the wicked are eliminated,
        you will see it for yourself!
³⁵ I myself have seen wicked powerful people,
    exalting themselves like a stately cedar.^[a]
