Today’s Scripture:

The wicked borrow and do not repay,    but the righteous give generously;22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,    but those he curses will be destroyed.

23 The Lord makes firm the steps    of the one who delights in him;24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,    for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken    or their children begging bread.26 They are always generous and lend freely;    their children will be a blessing.[a]

27 Turn from evil and do good;    then you will dwell in the land forever.28 For the Lord loves the just    and will not forsake his faithful ones.

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[b];    the offspring of the wicked will perish.29 The righteous will inherit the land    and dwell in it forever.

30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,    and their tongues speak what is just.31 The law of their God is in their hearts;    their feet do not slip.

32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,    intent on putting them to death;33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked    or let them be condemned when brought to trial.

34 Hope in the Lord    and keep his way.He will exalt you to inherit the land;    when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man    flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,36 but he soon passed away and was no more;    though I looked for him, he could not be found.

37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;    a future awaits those who seek peace.[c]38 But all sinners will be destroyed;    there will be no future[d] for the wicked.

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;    he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,    because they take refuge in him.
