Psalm 37:34-36

Common English Bible

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]
36 But when I^[b] came back, they were gone!
    I looked all over for them,
    but they couldn’t be found!
