Psalms 37 — Context

I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.

But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.

Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.

But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.

But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.
