Psalms 37:18
Compare all
16 aA little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked. 
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,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But athe righteous shows mercy and gives. 
22 aFor those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be1 cut off. 
23 aThe steps of a good man are1 ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way. 
24 aThough he fall, 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 I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
26 aHe is1 ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed.

Psalms 37:18

Knoweth - Observes with care and affection. The days - All things which befal them, their dangers and fears, and suffering. For ever - To them and their seed for ever: and when they die their inheritance is not lost, but exchanged for one infinitely better.
