The Security and Provision of the Righteous

21

The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.

22

For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.

23

From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

24

When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.

25

Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.

26

All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed is for a blessing.

27

Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.

28

For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

29

The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.

30

The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.

31

The law of his God is his heart, His steps do not slide.

32

The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.

33

Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
