Psalm 37:19-37 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

30. The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, And his tongue speaketh justice.

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 him.

33. Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.

34. Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35. I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

36. But one passed by, 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 there is a happy end to the man of peace.
