Psalm 37:37-38

Consider the blameless, observe the upright; a future awaits those who seek peace. But all sinners will be destroyed; there will be no future for the wicked. 

Consider the blameless 
Psalm 37:18  The blameless spend their days under the LORD's care, and their inheritance will endure forever.
Genesis 6:9  This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he faithfully walked with God.
Psalm 18:25-26  To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

observe the upright 
Psalm 11:7  For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.

a future awaits those who seek peace 
Isaiah 57:1-2  The righteous perish and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.

But all sinners 
Psalm 1:1-2  Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.

will be destroyed 
Psalm 37:1-2  Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
Psalm 73:19  How suddenly they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!

there will be no future for the wicked 
Psalm 37:9  For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
