Psalms 37:23-30

²³The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

²⁴Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

²⁵I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

²⁶All the day he is ready to have mercy and to give; his children are a blessing.

²⁷Be turned from evil, and do good; and your place will be for ever.

²⁸For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

²⁹The upright will have the earth for their heritage, and will go on living there for ever.

³⁰The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.
