YouTube - Days of Elijah

Psalm 37

USCCB - NAB - Psalm 37

Better the poverty of the just than the great wealth of the wicked.
17
The arms of the wicked will be broken; the LORD will sustain the just.
18
The LORD watches over the days of the blameless; their heritage lasts forever.
19
They will not be disgraced when times are hard; in days of famine they will have plenty.
20
The wicked perish, the enemies of the LORD; Like the beauty of meadows they vanish; like smoke they disappear.
21
The wicked borrow but do not repay; the just are generous in giving.
22
For those blessed by the Lord will possess the land, but those accursed will be cut off.
23
Those whose steps are guided by the LORD; whose way God approves,
24
May stumble, but they will never fall, for the LORD holds their hand.
25
Neither in my youth, nor now in old age have I ever seen the just abandoned or their children begging bread.
26
The just always lend generously, and their children become a blessing.
27
Turn from evil and do good, that you may inhabit the land forever.
28
For the LORD loves justice and does not abandon the faithful. When the unjust are destroyed, and the children of the wicked cut off,
29
The just will possess the land and live in it forever.
30
The mouths of the just utter wisdom; their tongues speak what is right.
31
God's teaching is in their hearts; their steps do not falter.
