Although he fall, yet shall he not be cast down utterly; Because the Lord with his own hand upholds him mightily.
God raiseth all that are bow'd down, upholdeth all that fall.
When I had uttered this word, (my foot doth slip away,) Thy mercy held me up, O Lord, thy goodness did me stay.
He took me from a fearful pit, and from the miry clay, And on a rock he set my feet, establishing my way.
For sinners' arms shall broken be; but God the just sustains.
The Lord lifts up the meek; and casts the wicked to the ground.
They in their hands shall bear thee up, still waiting thee upon; Lest thou at any time should'st dash thy foot against a stone.
