Text -- Psalms 37:24-40 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
37:24 Even if he trips , he will not fall headlong , for the Lord holds his hand .
37:25 I was once young , now I am old . I have never seen a godly man abandoned , or his children forced to search for food .
37:26 All day long he shows compassion and lends to others, and his children are blessed .
37:27 Turn away from evil ! Do what is right ! Then you will enjoy lasting security.
37:28 For the Lord promotes justice , and never abandons his faithful followers . They are permanently secure , but the children of evil men are wiped out .
37:29 The godly will possess the land and will dwell in it permanently .
37:30 The godly speak wise words and promote justice .
37:31 The law of their God controls their thinking ; their feet do not slip .
37:32 Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them.
37:33 But the Lord does not surrender the godly, or allow them to be condemned in a court of law .
37:34 Rely on the Lord ! Obey his commands ! Then he will permit you to possess the land ; you will see the demise of evil men.
37:35 I have seen ruthless evil men growing in influence , like a green tree grows in its native soil .
37:36 But then one passes by , and suddenly they have disappeared ! I looked for them, but they could not be found .
37:37 Take note of the one who has integrity ! Observe the godly ! For the one who promotes peace has a future .
37:38 Sinful rebels are totally destroyed ; evil men have no future .
37:39 But the Lord delivers the godly ; he protects them in times of trouble .
37:40 The Lord helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them, for they seek his protection .
