Psalm 37:32-33

The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on putting them to death; but the LORD will not leave them in the power of the wicked or let them be condemned when brought to trial.

The wicked lie in wait 
Psalm 10:8-9  He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.

for the righteous 
Psalm 11:5  The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.

but the LORD will not leave them in the power of the wicked or let them be condemned 
Job 32:1-5  So the three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God. He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he. But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.
Psalm 34:22  The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
Psalm 79:11  May the groans of the prisoners come before you; with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.

when brought to trial 
2 Peter 2:9  ... if this is so (see verses 4-8), then the LORD knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
