23By the Lord are the steps of the righteous man established; and he findeth pleasure in his course of life.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth his hand.
25I have been young, and I am also grown old: yet have I never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking for bread.
26He is all the time beneficent, and lendeth: and his seed will be for a blessing.
27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28For the Lord loveth justice, and never forsaketh his pious servants: they are for ever preserved; but the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell for ever therein.
30The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh what is just.
