Psalms 37:20-31

[20] But the wicked  shall perish,  and the enemies  of the LORD  shall be as the fat  of lambs:  they shall consume;  into smoke  shall they consume away.  [21] The wicked  borroweth,  and payeth not again:  but the righteous  sheweth mercy,  and giveth.  [22] For such as be blessed  of him shall inherit  the earth;  and they that be cursed  of him shall be cut off.  [23] The steps  of a good man  are ordered  by the LORD:  and he delighteth  in his way.  [24] Though he fall,  he shall not be utterly cast down:  for the LORD  upholdeth  him with his hand.  [25] I have been young,  and now am old;  yet have I not seen  the righteous  forsaken,  nor his seed  begging  bread.  [26] He is ever  merciful,  and lendeth;  and his seed  is blessed.  [27] Depart  from evil,  and do  good;  and dwell  for evermore.  [28] For the LORD  loveth  judgment,  and forsaketh  not his saints;  they are preserved  for ever:  but the seed  of the wicked  shall be cut off.  [29] The righteous  shall inherit  the land,  and dwell  therein for ever.  [30] The mouth  of the righteous  speaketh  wisdom,  and his tongue  talketh  of judgment.  [31] The law  of his God  is in his heart;  none of his steps  shall slide.
