Psalm 37:26 He (The righteous) is ever merciful , & lendeth - Not only does the righteous person show mercy, but he is NOT selfish with his worldly gains. The righteous person realizes that God lends us breath, money, health, etc. As a result the righteous person recognizes that what he has is NOT his own, but God's & if someone is in need he will gladly lend. If you see a need, help out, don't be selfish.
