Psalm 37:35-37
Contemporary English Version

35 I have seen brutal people
abuse others and grow strong
    like trees in rich soil.[a]
36 Suddenly they disappeared!
I looked, but they were gone
    and no longer there.

37 Think of the bright future
waiting for all the families
    of honest, innocent,
    and peace-loving people.

    though I looked for him, he could not be found.(B)

37 Consider the blameless,(C) observe the upright;(D)
    a future awaits those who seek peace.[a](E)
