Psalms 37:19-39
-
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
-
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
-
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
-
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
-
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
-
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
-
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
-
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
-
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
-
28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
-
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
-
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
-
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
-
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
-
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
-
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
-
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
-
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
-
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
-
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
-
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
