17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18. The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.
19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall vanish; into smoke shall they vanish away.
21. The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
22. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.
24. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
25. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his offspring begging bread.
26. He is ever merciful, and lends; and his descendants are blessed.
27. Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore.
28. For the LORD loves justice, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved forever: but the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
29. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever.
