Psalm 37:23–35

23  kThe steps of a good man are ||ordered by the Lord:

And he delighteth in his way.

24  lThough he fall, he shall not be mutterly cast down:

For the Lord bupholdeth him with his hand.

25  I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor mmhis seed nbegging bread.

26  oHe is †ever merciful, and lendeth;

And his seed is blessed.

27  pDepart from evil, and do good;

And qdwell for evermore.

28  For the Lord rloveth judgment,

And forsaketh not his ssaints;

They are preserved for ever:

But tthe seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29  The righteous jshall inherit the land,

And qdwell therein for ever.

30  The mouth of the righteous uspeaketh wisdom,

And his utongue talketh of judgment.

31  xThe law of his God is in his heart;

None of his ||steps shall yslide.

32  The wicked zwatcheth the righteous,

And seeketh to slay him.

33  The Lord will not leave him in his hand,

Nor acondemn him when he is judged.

34  bWait on the Lord, and keep his way,

And he shall exalt thee cto inherit the land:

dWhen the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35  eI have seen the wicked fin great power,

And spreading himself like ||ga green bay tree.
