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.
25. I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous one forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
26. All day long he is gracious and lends. So his offspring will be a blessing.
27. Turn from evil and do good, so you may live forever.
28. For Adonai loves justice and does not abandon His godly ones. They will be preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
