Context of Psalms 37:19
17For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the Lord sustains the righteous. 18The Lord knows the days of the blameless, And their inheritance will be forever. They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, And in the days of famine they will have plenty. 20But the wicked will perish; And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures, They vanish--like smoke they vanish away. 21The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives.
