Psalms 37:34

Waiting on GodPatienceHopeObedience

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.

Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,

36 yet he passed away and was no more; though I searched, he could not be found.
