Though he falls, he is not cast down, For יהוה is supporting his hand.
For seven times a righteous man falls and rises, But the wrong one stumbles into evil.
יהוה is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down.
When I said, “My foot has slipped,” Your kindness, O יהוה, supported me.
And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps.
And Shimʽ
For the arms of the wrongdoers are broken, But יהוה sustains the righteous.
יהוה lifts up the meek ones, He throws the wrong ones down to the ground.
They bear you up in their hands, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
