Psalms 37 — Context

When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.

I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread.

All day long he is gracious and lends, And his descendants are a blessing.

Depart from evil and do good, So you will abide forever.

For the LORD loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

The righteous will inherit the land And dwell in it forever.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.
