Psalm 37:34-36

Modern English Version

³⁴ Hope in 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.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked in great power,
    and spreading himself like a luxuriant tree.
³⁶ Yet he passed away, and he was not;
    I sought him, but he could not be found.
