I will praise the LORD!

The wicked borrow and do not repay,
    but the righteous give generously;
those the LORD blesses will inherit the land,
    but those he curses will be destroyed.

The LORD makes firm the steps
    of the one who delights in him;
though he may stumble, he will not fall,
    for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

  (Psalm 37:21-24, NIV)*
