25 I have been young, and now am old,
    yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
    or his children (A)begging for bread.
26 He is ever (B)lending generously,
    and his children become a blessing.

27 (C)Turn away from evil and do good;
    so shall you (D)dwell forever.
28 For the Lord (E)loves justice;
    he will not forsake his (F)saints.
They are preserved forever,
    but the children of the wicked shall be (G)cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land
    and (H)dwell upon it forever.
