Psalm 37:21-26
New International Version

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
    but the righteous give generously;(A)
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
    but those he curses(B) will be destroyed.(C)

23 The Lord makes firm the steps(D)
    of the one who delights(E) in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,(F)
    for the Lord upholds(G) him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken(H)
    or their children begging(I) bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;(J)
    their children will be a blessing.[a](K)

Psalm 37:21-26
King James Version

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
