Psalm 37:1-11
1 Do not get upset because of evildoers, Do not be envious of wrongdoers.2 For they will wither quickly like the grass, And decay like the green plants.3 Trust in the LORD and do good; Live in the land and cultivate faithfulness.4 Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.5 Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.6 He will bring out your righteousness as the light, And your judgment as the noonday.7 Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way, Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.8 Cease from anger and abandon wrath; Do not get upset; it leads only to evildoing.9 For evildoers will be eliminated, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.10 Yet a little while and the wicked person will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.11 But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

Psalm 37:4

Psalm 37:11
But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
Psalm 37:35-36
35 I have seen a wicked, violent person Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. 36 Then he passed away, and behold, he was no more; I searched for him, but he could not be found.
