Psalms 37:18-24

37:18

The LORD
<03068>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

the days
<03117>

of the upright
<08549>_:

and their inheritance
<05159>

shall be for ever
<05769>_.

37:19

They shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

in the evil
<07451>

time
<06256>_:

and in the days
<03117>

of famine
<07459>

they shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.

37:20

But the wicked
<07563>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_,

and the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the LORD
<03068>

[shall be] as the fat
<03368>

of lambs
<03733>_:

they shall consume
<03615> (8804)_;

into smoke
<06227>

shall they consume away
<03615> (8804)_.

{the fat: Heb. the preciousness}

37:21

The wicked
<07563>

borroweth
<03867> (8801)_,

and payeth not again
<07999> (8762)_:

but the righteous
<06662>

sheweth mercy
<02603> (8802)_,

and giveth
<05414> (8802)_.

37:22

For [such as be] blessed
<01288> (8794)

of him shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_;

and [they that be] cursed
<07043> (8794)

of him shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

37:23

The steps
<04703>

of a [good] man
<01397>

are ordered
<03559> (8797)

by the LORD
<03068>_:

and he delighteth
<02654> (8799)

in his way
<01870>_.

{ordered: or, established}

37:24

Though he fall
<05307> (8799)_,

he shall not be utterly cast down
<02904> (8714)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

upholdeth
<05564> (8802)

[him with] his hand
<03027>_.
