Psalms 37:19-27

¹⁹They will not be humiliated in bad times; even in days of famine they will have plenty to eat.

²⁰But the wicked will die. The enemies of the Lord are like the flowers of the field—they will vanish like smoke.

²¹The wicked borrow, but don't repay; while those who do right give generously.

²²Those who are blessed by God will own the land, but those he curses will die.

²³The Lord shows the right path to those who follow him, and is happy with the way they live.

²⁴Though they may trip up, they will not fall to the ground, for the Lord holds their hand.

²⁵Once I was young, and now I've grown old, yet I've never seen those who do right abandoned, nor their children having to beg for bread.

²⁶They are always kind, and generous with their loans; their children are a blessing.

²⁷Reject evil, do what is good, and you will live forever in the land.
