Psalm 37:25-34

English Standard Version

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.

³⁰ The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
    and his tongue speaks justice.
^31 (I)The law of his God is in his heart;
    his ^(J)steps do not slip.

³² The wicked ^(K)watches for the righteous
    and seeks to put him to death.
³³ The Lord will not ^(L)abandon him to his power
    or let him ^(M)be condemned when he is brought to trial.

^34 (N)Wait for the Lord and keep his way,
    and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
    you will look on ^(O)when the wicked are cut off.
