Psalms 37:23-29

23 1The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He 2delights in his way.24When 3he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because 4the Lord is the One 5who holds his hand.25I have been young and now I am old, Yet 6I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or 7his 8descendants begging bread.26All day long 9he is gracious and lends, And 10his 11descendants are a blessing.

27 12Depart from evil and do good, 13So you will abide 14forever.28For the Lord 15loves 16justice And 17does not forsake His godly ones; They are 18preserved forever, But the 19 20descendants of the wicked will be cut off.29The righteous will 21inherit the land And 22dwell in it forever.
