Psalms 37:19-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

19. They will not be ashamed when times are bad;in days of famine they will be satisfied.

20. The wicked perish,enemies of the Lord;They shall be consumed like fattened lambs;like smoke they disappear.

21. The wicked one borrows but does not repay;the righteous one is generous and gives.

22. For those blessed by the Lord will inherit the earth,but those accursed will be cut off.

23. The valiant one whose steps are guided by the Lord,who will delight in his way,

24. May stumble, but he will never fall,for the Lord holds his hand.

25. Neither in my youth, nor now in old agehave I seen the righteous one abandonedor his offspring begging for bread.

26. All day long he is gracious and lends,and his offspring become a blessing.

27. Turn from evil and do good,that you may be settled forever.

28. For the Lord loves justiceand does not abandon the faithful.When the unjust are destroyed,and the offspring of the wicked cut off,

29. The righteous will inherit the earthand dwell in it forever.
