Psalms 37:31
29 The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.
32 Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,
33 the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
