18. Adonai knows the days of the blameless— their inheritance endures forever.
19. They will not be ashamed in an evil time and in days of famine they will be satisfied.
20. For the wicked will perish, and the enemies of Adonai will be like the beauty of the fields— they will vanish—vanish like smoke.
21. The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous is a gracious giver.
22. For His blessed ones inherit the land. But those He curses will be cut off.
23. From Adonai a man’s steps are made firm, when He delights in his way.
24. Though he stumble, he will not fall headlong, for Adonai is holding his hand.
