Psalms 37:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.

19 In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

20 But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.

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.
