Psalms 37 — Context

I have seen ruthless evil men growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.

But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared! I looked for them, but they could not be found.

Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the upright! For the one who promotes peace has a future.

Sinful rebels are totally destroyed; evil men have no future.

But the LORD delivers the godly; he protects them in times of trouble.

The LORD helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them, for they seek his protection.
