Psalms 37:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
