Psalm 37:26-28
Contemporary English Version

26 They gladly give and lend,
and their children
    turn out good.

27 If you stop sinning
    and start doing right,
you will keep living
    and be secure forever.
28 The Lord loves justice,
and he won't ever desert
    his faithful people.
He always protects them,
but destroys the children
    of the wicked.
