You do your best to live in the righteousness of God, but you watch the wicked live in their wickedness and they do not seem to suffer for it. However, be patient, in time they shall lose and you shall win, as Solomon said,

The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
(Proverbs 11.6) 

So live that you are upright, not bowed down in shame and dishonor, but you know that the Lord has forgiven you of your sins, and you seek His righteousness with all earnestness. He knows, and He will deliver you.
