Psalm 37:35-37

Common English Bible

³⁵ I myself have seen wicked powerful people,
    exalting themselves like a stately cedar.^[a]
36 But when I^[b] came back, they were gone!
    I looked all over for them,
    but they couldn’t be found!

³⁷ Observe those who have integrity
    and watch those whose heart is right
    because the future belongs to persons of peace.
