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.
25 I have been young, and now am old, Yet have I [hereto] never seen The just forsaken, nor his seed, [That they] for bread have beggars been.
26 He's always merciful, and lends; His seed is blest [of God] therefore
27 Depart from evil, and do good, And [you shall] dwell for evermore.
28 For God loves judgment, and his Saints [Though low] forsakes not utterly; They are preserved, but he cuts off Sinner's [unblest] posterity.
