The Security and Provision of the Righteous

21

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.

22

Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.

23

The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.

24

Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand.

25

I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

26

They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.

27

Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.

28

For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

29

The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

30

The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

31

The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.

32

Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,

33

the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.
