Psalms 37:29

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

²¹The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving. ²²Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed. ²³The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way. ²⁴Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand. ²⁵I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread. ²⁶They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing. ²⁷Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever. ²⁸For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off. ²⁹The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.³⁰The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
