“The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.”
The psalmist observes 'The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously.' The contrast between borrowing without repaying and generous giving establishes the difference in character: the wicked seize what is not theirs, while the righteous give what is theirs. This verse suggests that generosity and trustworthiness characterize the righteous.
