Psalm 37:33-36
The Message
32-33 Wicked sets a watch for Righteous,
he’s out for the kill.
God, alert, is also on watch—
Wicked won’t hurt a hair of his head.
34 Wait passionately for God,
don’t leave the path.
He’ll give you your place in the sun
while you watch the wicked lose it.
35-36 I saw Wicked bloated like a toad,
croaking pretentious nonsense.
The next time I looked there was nothing—
a punctured bladder, vapid and limp.
Psalm 37:33-35

34 Hope in the Lord(C)
and keep his way.(D)
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed,(E) you will see(F) it.
35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing(G) like a luxuriant native tree,
