Psalms 37:24

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.

And his descendants are blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good;
And dwell forevermore.

28 For the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 ^aThe righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell in it forever.

30 ^aThe mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
And his tongue talks of justice.
