25 I have been young, and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or his children begging for bread.

26 He is ever lending generously,

and his children become a blessing.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;

And his seed is blessed.

25 Once I was young, and now I am old.

Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned

or their children begging for bread.

26 The godly always give generous loans to others,

and their children are a blessing.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his descendants begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lends;

And his descendants are blessed.

25 I was young, and now I am old,

but I have never seen good people left helpless

or their children begging for food.

26 Good people always lend freely to others,

and their children are a blessing.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his seed begging bread.

26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;

And his seed is blessed.

25 I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread: 26 all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.

25 I have been young, and now I am old, 

but I have never seen a righteous person abandoned 

or his descendants begging for food. 

26 He is always generous and lends freely. 

His descendants are a blessing. 

25 I have been young and now I am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned

or his children begging for bread.

26 He is always generous, always lending,

and his children are a blessing.

25 I have been young, and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or their children begging bread.

26 They are ever giving liberally and lending,

and their children become a blessing.

25 I was a youth, but I am now old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or his children begging for bread.

26 All the day he is gracious and lends,

and his children are a blessing.

25 I once was young, and now I’m old.

But I’ve never seen godly people deserted.

I’ve never seen their children begging for bread.

26 The godly are always giving and lending freely.

Their children will be blessed.

25 I have been young and now I am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

Or his descendants begging bread.

26 All day long he is gracious and lends,

And his descendants are a blessing.
