Psalms 37:25 in context

Psalms 37:22–28

For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.

Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

A man’s steps are established by the LORD.

He delights in his way.

Though he stumble, he shall not fall,

for the LORD holds him up with his hand.

Selected verse

I have been young, and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor his children begging for bread.

All day long he deals graciously, and lends.

His offspring is blessed.

Depart from evil, and do good.

Live securely forever.

For the LORD loves justice,

and doesn’t forsake his saints.

They are preserved forever,

but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
