Psalms 37:29 In-Context

27 Turn your back on evil, work for the good and don't quit.
28 God loves this kind of thing, never turns away from his friends. Live this way and you've got it made, but bad eggs will be tossed out.
29 The good get planted on good land and put down healthy roots.
30 Righteous chews on wisdom like a dog on a bone, rolls virtue around on his tongue.
31 His heart pumps God's Word like blood through his veins; his feet are as sure as a cat's.
