21 The wicked borroweth in need, But payeth not [again] his debt; The righteous giveth to the poor, His heart's on [works of] mercy set.
22 For such as blessed be of him, [Good on] the earth inherit shall; And they that cursed be of him, [Cut off] shall be destroyed all.
23 The steps of good men by the Lord Are [sixth and] ordered aright; And in their good and upright way He pleased [is, and] doth delight.
23 The steps of good men by the Lord Are [fixt and] ordered aright; And in their good and upright way He pleased [is, and] doth delight.
24 And though he fall, yet shall he not [Sink and] be utterly cast down, For God by his Almighty hand [Keeps and] upholds him as his own.
