Psalm 36:24-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

24. When he falls, he will not be harmed, because the Lord places his hand under him.

25. I have been young, and now I am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his offspring seeking bread.

26. He shows compassion and lends, all day long, and his offspring will be in blessing.

27. Turn away from evil and do good, and dwell forever and ever.

28. For the Lord loves judgment, and he will not abandon his saints. They will be kept safe in eternity. The unjust will be punished, and the offspring of the impious will perish.

29. But the just will inherit the earth, and they will dwell upon it forever and ever.

30. The mouth of the just one will express wisdom, and his tongue will speak judgment.

31. The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
