Psalm 37:15-29 American Standard Version (ASV)

15. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.

16. Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.

18. Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever.

19. They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20. But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.

21. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

22. For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

23. A man’s goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.

24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah 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. All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

27. Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.

28. For Jehovah loveth justice, 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.
