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.
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.
29
The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30
The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
31
the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.

Psalms 37:21-31 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 37
\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm, it is very probable, was written at the same time, and upon the same occasion, with the former; and describes the different states of good and bad men; and is full of exhortations, instructions, and advice to the people of God; intermixed with various encouraging promises. A late learned writer {h} thinks it was written for Mephibosheth's consolation under Ziba's calumny. {h} Delaney's Life of King David, vol. 2. p. 219.
