Psalms 37:17-26

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.

¹⁸The Lord watches over the days of the blameless, their heritage will continue forever.

¹⁹They will not be shamed in the evil time, in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

²⁰Because the wicked will perish: but the foes of the Lord, like a brand in the oven, will vanish, like smoke they will vanish.

²¹The wicked must borrow and cannot pay back, but the righteous is lavish and gives.

²²For those blest by the Lord inherit the land, while those whom he curses will be cut off.

²³The Lord supports the steps of those with whom he is pleased.

²⁴Though they fall, they will not be cast headlong, for the Lord holds their hands.

²⁵Never, from youth to age, have I seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging bread.

²⁶They are ever lavishly lending, and their children are fountains of blessing.
