they are not put to shame in evil times, in the days of famine they have abundance.
20
But the wicked perish, and the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21
The wicked borrow, and do not pay back, but the righteous are generous and keep giving;
22
for 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.
25
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
26
They are ever giving liberally and lending, and their children become a blessing.
27
Depart from evil, and do good; so you shall abide forever.
28
For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his faithful ones. The righteous shall be kept safe forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29
The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
