Psalms 37:20-29 GNB But the wicked will die; the enemies of the LORD ( יהוה ) will vanish like wild flowers; they will disappear like smoke. (21) The wicked borrow and never pay back, but good people are generous with their gifts. (22) Those who are blessed by the LORD ( יהוה ) will possess the land, but those who are cursed by him will be driven out. (23) The LORD ( יהוה ) guides us in the way we should go and protects those who please him. (24) If they fall, they will not stay down, because the LORD ( יהוה ) will help them up. (25) I am old now; I have lived a long time, but I have never seen good people abandoned by the LORD ( יהוה ) or their children begging for food. (26) At all times they give freely and lend to others, and their children are a blessing. (27) Turn away from evil and do good, and your descendants will always live in the land; (28) for the LORD ( יהוה ) loves what is right and does not abandon his faithful people. He protects them forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be driven out. (29) The righteous will possess the land and live in it forever.
Psalms 37:20-29 LITV But the wicked shall perish; yea, the enemies of Jehovah ( יהוה ) shall be like the beauty of pastures; they are consumed; like smoke, they vanish. (21) The wicked borrows and never repays, but the righteous is gracious and giving. (22) For His blessed ones inherit the earth; and those cursed by Him shall be cut off. (23) The steps of a good man are established from Jehovah ( יהוה ); and He will delight in his way. (24) Though he falls, he is not cast down; for Jehovah ( יהוה ) upholds his hand. (25) I have been young and am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread. (26) All the day he is gracious and lends; and his seed is for a blessing. (27) Turn away from evil and do good and live forever. (28) For Jehovah ( יהוה ) loves judgment and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever; but the wicked's seed shall be cut off. (29) The righteous shall inherit the earth and live on it forever.

(23) The steps of a man are established by the LORD ( יהוה ), when he delights in his way; (24) though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD ( יהוה ) upholds his hand. (25) I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. (26) He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.

They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. (29) The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.
Psalm 37:20-29 NWT 20 For the wicked themselves will perish, And the enemies of Jehovah ( יהוה ) will be like the preciousness of pastures; They must come to their end. In smoke they must come to their end. ? [La´medh] 21 The wicked one is borrowing and does not pay back, But the righteous one is showing favor and is making gifts. 22 For those being blessed by him will themselves possess the earth, But those upon whom evil is called by him will be cut off. ? [Mem] 23 By Jehovah ( יהוה ) the very steps of an able-bodied man have been made ready, And in his way He takes delight. 24 Although he may fall, he will not be hurled down, For Jehovah ( יהוה ) is supporting his hand. ? [Nun] 25 A young man I used to be, I have also grown old, And yet I have not seen anyone righteous left entirely, Nor his offspring looking for bread. 26 All day long he is showing favor and lending, And so his offspring are in line for a blessing. ? [Sa´mekh] 27 Turn away from what is bad and do what is good, And so reside to time indefinite. 28 For Jehovah ( יהוה ) is a lover of justice, And he will not leave his loyal ones. ? [`A´yin] To time indefinite they will certainly be guarded; But as for the offspring of the wicked ones, they will indeed be cut off. 29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.
