Psalms 37:39

SalvationProtection and safetyStrength and help in weakness

37 Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.

38 But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.

The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.

40 The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.
