Psalm 145:20

While reading Psalm 145 in the NKJV last month, I noticed an-other chiastic structure that highlights opposites.  Verse 20 is:
The LORD preserves
all who love Him, 
but all the wicked
He will destroy.
This structure is also present in the Hebrew:
שׁוֹמֵר יְהוָה אֶת־כָּל־אֹהֲבָיו וְאֵת כָּל־הָרְשָׁעִים יַשְׁמִֽיד׃
The ESV and NIV translations are similar to the NKJV and also retain this structure.
