Psalm 37:26-28
New Catholic Bible
26 He is always compassionate and generous in lending,
and his children will be blessed.[a]
27 If you shun evil and do good,
you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the Lord loves the just,[b]
and he will not forsake his faithful ones.
Those who follow evil paths will be destroyed,
and the children of the wicked will be cut off,
Footnotes
- Psalm 37:26 Blessed: see note on Ps 1:1.
- Psalm 37:28 The psalmist insists that the Lord loves the just (see Prov 2:8) who are his faithful ones, and he will never forsake them. Hence, Paul could say with complete confidence: “[Nothing] will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:38f).
