18
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
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 [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.
22
For [such as are] blessed by him shall inherit the earth; and [they that are] cursed by 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 should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
25
I have been young, and [now] am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26
[He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed.
27
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
