Psalms 37:21

Context

37:21 Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt,

but the godly show compassion and are generous. 1 

1 tn Heb “an evil [man] borrows and does not repay; but a godly [man] is gracious and gives.” The singular forms are used in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and godly individual are in view. The three active participles and one imperfect (“repay”) draw attention to the characteristic behavior of the two types.
