Psalm 37:33-35
New Catholic Bible
33 But the Lord will not abandon the righteous
to the power of the wicked,
nor will he allow him to be condemned
when he is brought to trial.
34 Wait for the Lord
and follow the path he has laid out;
then he will exalt you to inherit the land,
and you will see the destruction of the wicked.
35 [a]I have seen a wicked man inflicting terror
and towering like a verdant tree.
