Psalms 37:27

²⁵ I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

²⁶ They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.

Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.

²⁸ For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

²⁹ The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
