Psalm 37:23–31

23 aThe steps of a man are established by the Lord,

And He bdelights in his way.

24 When ahe falls, he will not be hurled headlong,

Because bthe Lord is the One 1who holds his hand.

25 I have been young and now I am old,

Yet aI have not seen the righteous forsaken

Or bhis 1descendants begging bread.

26 All day long ahe is gracious and lends,

And bhis 1descendants are a blessing.

27 aDepart from evil and do good,

1So you will abide bforever.

28 For the Lord aloves 1justice

And bdoes not forsake His godly ones;

They are cpreserved forever,

But the 2ddescendants of the wicked will be cut off.

29 The righteous will ainherit the land

And bdwell in it forever.

30 The mouth of the righteous autters wisdom,

And his tongue bspeaks justice.

31 The alaw of his God is in his heart;

His bsteps do not slip.
