New International Version (NIV)

25I was young and now I am old,

yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken

or their children begging bread.

25I have been young and now I am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

Or his descendants begging for bread.

25I have been young and now I am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous (those in right standing with God) abandoned

Or his descendants pleading for bread.

25I once was young and now am old,

yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned

or their children begging for bread.

25I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his seed begging bread.

25I haue beene yong, and am olde: yet I sawe neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.

25I have been young, and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor his children begging for bread.

25I 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.

25I was young once and now I am old.

But in all my life, I have never seen any good man that God has left alone.

I have not seen his children so hungry

that they ask people for food.

25I have been young, || I have also become old, || And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, || And his seed seeking bread.
