Psalm 37:25–31

25 I am old now; I have lived a long time,

but I have never seen good people abandoned by the Lord

or their children begging for food.

26 At all times they give freely and lend to others,

and their children are a blessing.

27 Turn away from evil and do good,

and your descendants will always live in the land;

28 for the Lord loves what is right

and does not abandon his faithful people.

He protects them for ever,

but the descendants of the wicked will be driven out.

29 The righteous will possess the land

and live in it for ever.

30 The words of good people are wise,

and they are always fair.

31 They keep the law of their God in their hearts

and never depart from it.
