Psalm
37
21
Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt, but the godly show compassion and are generous.
22
Surely those favored by the LORD will possess the land, but those rejected by him will be wiped out.
23
The LORD grants success to the one whose behavior he finds commendable.
24
Even if he trips, he will not fall headlong, for the LORD holds his hand.
25
I was once young, now I am old. I have never seen a godly man abandoned, or his children forced to search for food.
26
All day long he shows compassion and lends to others, and his children are blessed.
27
Turn away from evil! Do what is right! Then you will enjoy lasting security.
28
For the LORD promotes justice, and never abandons his faithful followers. They are permanently secure, but the children of evil men are wiped out.
29
The godly will possess the land and will dwell in it permanently.
30
The godly speak wise words and promote justice.
31
The law of their God controls their thinking; their feet do not slip.
32
Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them.
33
But the LORD does not surrender the godly, or allow them to be condemned in a court of law.
34
Rely on the LORD! Obey his commands! Then he will permit you to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.
35
I have seen ruthless evil men growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.
36
But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared! I looked for them, but they could not be found.
37
Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly! For the one who promotes peace has a future.
38
Sinful rebels are totally destroyed; evil men have no future.
39
But the LORD delivers the godly; he protects them in times of trouble.
40
The LORD helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them, for they seek his protection.
