37 Observe those who have integrityand watch those whose heart is rightbecause the future belongs to persons of peace.
38 But wrongdoers will be destroyed all together;the future of the wicked will be cut short.
39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;he is their refuge in times of trouble.
40 The Lord will help themand rescue them—rescue them from the wicked—and he will save thembecause they have taken refuge in him.
