Psalm 37:21–24

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,

but the righteous give generously;

22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,

but those he curses will be destroyed.

23 The Lord makes firm the steps

of the one who delights in him;

24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,

for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back,

but the righteous is generous and gives;

22 for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,

but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

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

when he delights in his way;

24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,

for the Lord upholds his hand.

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.

21 The wicked borrow and never repay,

but the godly are generous givers.

22 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land,

but those he curses will die.

23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.

He delights in every detail of their lives.

24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,

for the Lord holds them by the hand.

21 The wicked borrow and don’t pay back,

but those who do right give freely to others.

22 Those whom the Lord blesses will inherit the land,

but those he curses will be sent away.

23 When people’s steps follow the Lord,

God is pleased with their ways.

24 If they stumble, they will not fall,

because the Lord holds their hand.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again;

But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

22 For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land;

And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 A man’s goings are established of Jehovah;

And he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;

For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth: 22 for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way: 24 though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.

21 A wicked person borrows, but he does not repay. 

A righteous person is generous and giving. 

22 Those who are blessed by him will inherit the land. 

Those who are cursed by him will be cut off. 

23 A person’s steps are directed by the Lord, 

and the Lord delights in his way. 

24 When he falls, he will not be thrown down headfirst 

because the Lord holds on to his hand. 

21 The wicked man borrows and does not repay,

but the righteous one is gracious and giving.

22 Those who are blessed by Him will inherit the land,

but those cursed by Him will be destroyed.

23 A man’s steps are established by the Lord,

and He takes pleasure in his way.

24 Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,

because the Lord holds his hand.

21 The wicked borrow and do not pay back,

but the righteous are generous and keep giving;

22 surely those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,

but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

23 Our steps are made firm by the Lord

when he delights in our way;

24 though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong,

for the Lord holds us by the hand.

21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,

but the righteous is gracious and gives.

22 For those blessed by him shall possess the land,

but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a man are established by Yahweh,

and he takes pleasure in his way.

24 Though he fall, he will not be cast headlong,

for Yahweh supports him with his hand.

21 Sinful people borrow and don’t pay back.

But those who are godly give freely to others.

22 The Lord will give the land to those he blesses.

But he will cut off those he puts a curse on.

23 If the Lord is pleased with the way a man lives,

he makes his steps secure.

24 Even if the man trips, he won’t fall.

The Lord’s hand takes good care of him.

21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back,

But the righteous is gracious and gives.

22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,

But those cursed by Him will be cut off.

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

And He delights in his way.

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

Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.
