Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

21The wicked borrows and does not pay back,

But the righteous is gracious and gives.

22For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,

But those cursed by Him will be eliminated.

23The steps of a man are established by the Lord,

And He delights in his way.

24When he falls, he will not be hurled down,

Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

25I have been young and now I am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

Or his descendants begging for bread.

26All day long he is gracious and lends,

And his descendants are a blessing.

27Turn from evil and do good,

So that you will dwell forever.

28For the Lord loves justice

And does not abandon His godly ones;

They are protected forever,

But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated.

29The righteous will inherit the land

And dwell in it forever.

30The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,

And his tongue speaks justice.

31The Law of his God is in his heart;

His steps do not slip.

32The wicked spies upon the righteous

And seeks to kill him.

33The Lord will not leave him in his hand

Or let him be condemned when he is judged.
