Psalm 37:35-37
New Catholic Bible
35 [a]I have seen a wicked man inflicting terror
and towering like a verdant tree.
36 I passed by again, and he was gone;
I searched for him, but he was not to be found.
37 [b]Pay attention to the innocent and behold the upright,
for the man of peace will have a future.
