Psalm 37:25–28

25 I was young and now I am old,

yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken

or their children begging bread.

26 They are always generous and lend freely;

their children will be a blessing.

27 Turn from evil and do good;

then you will dwell in the land forever.

28 For the Lord loves the just

and will not forsake his faithful ones.

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed;

the offspring of the wicked will perish.

25 I have been young, and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or his children begging for bread.

26 He is ever lending generously,

and his children become a blessing.

27 Turn away from evil and do good;

so shall you dwell forever.

28 For the Lord loves justice;

he will not forsake his saints.

They are preserved forever,

but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

25 Once I was young, and now I am old.

Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned

or their children begging for bread.

26 The godly always give generous loans to others,

and their children are a blessing.

27 Turn from evil and do good,

and you will live in the land forever.

28 For the Lord loves justice,

and he will never abandon the godly.

He will keep them safe forever,

but the children of the wicked will die.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his descendants begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lends;

And his descendants are blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good;

And dwell forevermore.

28 For the Lord loves justice,

And does not forsake His saints;

They are preserved forever,

But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.

25 I was young, and now I am old,

but I have never seen good people left helpless

or their children begging for food.

26 Good people always lend freely to others,

and their children are a blessing.

27 Stop doing evil and do good,

so you will live forever.

28 The Lord loves justice

and will not leave those who worship him.

He will always protect them,

but the children of the wicked will die.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his seed begging bread.

26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;

And his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good;

And dwell for evermore.

28 For Jehovah loveth justice,

And forsaketh not his saints;

They are preserved for ever:

But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

25 I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread: 26 all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing. 27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore; 28 for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

25 I have been young, and now I am old, 

but I have never seen a righteous person abandoned 

or his descendants begging for food. 

26 He is always generous and lends freely. 

His descendants are a blessing. 

27 Avoid evil, do good, and live forever. 

28 The Lord loves justice, 

and he will not abandon his godly ones. 

They will be kept safe forever, 

but the descendants of wicked people will be cut off. 

25 I have been young and now I am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned

or his children begging for bread.

26 He is always generous, always lending,

and his children are a blessing.

27 Turn away from evil and do what is good,

and dwell there forever.

28 For the Lord loves justice

and will not abandon His faithful ones.

They are kept safe forever,

but the children of the wicked will be destroyed.

25 I have been young and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or their children begging bread.

26 They are ever giving liberally and lending,

and their children become a blessing.

27 Depart from evil, and do good;

so you shall abide forever.

28 For the Lord loves justice;

he will not forsake his faithful ones.

The righteous shall be kept safe forever,

but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

25 I was a youth, but I am now old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or his children begging for bread.

26 All the day he is gracious and lends,

and his children are a blessing.

27 Turn aside from evil and do good

and so abide forever.

28 For Yahweh loves justice

and will not forsake his faithful ones.

They are protected forever.

But the children of the wicked will be cut off.

25 I once was young, and now I’m old.

But I’ve never seen godly people deserted.

I’ve never seen their children begging for bread.

26 The godly are always giving and lending freely.

Their children will be blessed.

27 Turn away from evil and do good.

Then you will live in the land forever.

28 The Lord loves those who are honest.

He will not desert those who are faithful to him.

They will be kept safe forever.

But the children of sinners will be cut off from the land.

25 I have been young and now I am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

Or his descendants begging bread.

26 All day long he is gracious and lends,

And his descendants are a blessing.

27 Depart from evil and do good,

So you will abide forever.

28 For the Lord loves justice

And does not forsake His godly ones;

They are preserved forever,

But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
