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 for ever.
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.
