Context of Psalms 37:19
17For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord supports the righteous. 18The Lord watches over the blameless all their days, and their inheritance will last forever. They will not be disgraced in times of adversity; they will be satisfied in days of hunger. 20But the wicked will perish; the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures, will fade away — they will fade away like smoke. 21The wicked person borrows and does not repay, but the righteous one is gracious and giving.

Their wants will be supplied, and they will…Read the comment
