19
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20
But the wicked shall perish; And the enemies of the Lord, Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21
The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22
For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.
23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.
24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
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.
29
The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever.
