Psalm 37:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 The Lord looks after the lives of the upright,[a]
and their heritage will last forever.
19 They will not be confounded in times of evil,
and in days of famine they eat their fill.
20 But the wicked will perish,
all those who are enemies of the Lord.
Like the beauty of the meadows[b] they will wither away;
like smoke they will disappear.
