24 Though he stumbles,
    he will not fall down flat,
        for the Lord will hold up his hand.

25 I once was young and now I am old,
    but I have not seen a righteous person forsaken
        or his descendants begging for bread.
26 Every day he is generous, lending freely,
    and his descendants are blessed.
