Psalms 37:9-10

9 Wicked men ^{▼▼ Heb “for evil men.” The conjunction כִּי (ki, “for”) relates to the exhortations in v. 8; there is no reason to be frustrated, for the evildoers will be punished in due time.} will be wiped out, ^{▼▼ Or “cut off, removed.”}
but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land. ^{▼▼ Heb “and those who wait on the Lord, they will possess the land.”}
10 Evil men will soon disappear; ^{▼▼ Heb “and yet, a little, there will be no wicked [one].”}
you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone. ^{▼▼ Heb “and you will carefully look upon his place, but he will not be [there].” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer is in view.}
