23. A good man's footsteps by the Lordare ordered aright;And in the way wherein he walkshe greatly doth delight.

24. Although he fall, yet shall he notbe cast down utterly;Because the Lord with his own handupholds him mightily.

25. I have been young, and now am old,yet have I never seenThe just man left, nor that his seedfor bread have beggars been.

26. He's ever merciful, and lends:his seed is bless'd therefore.

27. Depart from evil, and do good,and dwell for evermore.

28. For God loves judgment, and his saintsleaves not in any case;They are kept ever: but cut offshall be the sinner's race.

29. The just inherit shall the land,and ever in it dwell:

30. The just man's mouth doth wisdom speak;his tongue doth judgment tell.

31. In's heart the law is of his God,his steps slide not away.

32. The wicked man doth watch the just,and seeketh him to slay.
