Psalms 37:19-40

Psalms 37:19-40

[19] They shall not be ashamed  in the evil  time:  and in the days  of famine  they shall be satisfied.  [20] But the wicked  shall perish,  and the enemies  of the LORD  shall be as the fat  of lambs:  they shall consume;  into smoke  shall they consume away.  [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.  [27] Depart  from evil,  and do  good;  and dwell  for evermore.  [28] For the LORD  loveth  judgment,  and forsaketh  not his saints;  they are preserved  for ever:  but the seed  of the wicked  shall be cut off.  [29] The righteous  shall inherit  the land,  and dwell  therein for ever.  [30] The mouth  of the righteous  speaketh  wisdom,  and his tongue  talketh  of judgment.  [31] The law  of his God  is in his heart;  none of his steps  shall slide.  [32] The wicked  watcheth  the righteous,  and seeketh  to slay  [33] The LORD  will not leave  him in his hand,  nor condemn  him when he is judged.  [34] Wait  on the LORD,  and keep  his way,  and he shall exalt  thee to inherit  the land:  when the wicked  are cut off,  thou shalt see  [35] I have seen  the wicked  in great power,  and spreading  himself like a green  bay tree.  [36] Yet he passed away,  and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought  him, but he could not be found.  [37] Mark  the perfect  man, and behold  the upright:  for the end  of that man  is peace.  [38] But the transgressors  shall be destroyed  together:  the end  of the wicked  shall be cut off.  [39] But the salvation  of the righteous  is of the LORD:  he is their strength  in the time  of trouble.  [40] And the LORD  shall help  them, and deliver  them from the wicked,  and save  them, because they trust  in him.
