24 If they fall, they will not stay down,because the Lord will help them up.
25 I am old now; I have lived a long time,but I have never seen good people abandoned by the Lordor their children begging for food.
26 At all times they give freely and lend to others,and their children are a blessing.
27 Turn away from evil and do good,and your descendants will always live in the land;
28 for the Lord loves what is rightand does not abandon his faithful people.He protects them for ever,but the descendants of the wicked will be driven out.
29 The righteous will possess the landand live in it for ever.
30 The words of good people are wise,and they are always fair.
