24 If he stumbles, he will not fall,
    because the Lord holds his hand.

25 I was young, and now I am old.
    But I have never seen the Lord leave good people helpless.
    I have never seen their children begging for food.
26 Good people always lend freely to others.
    And their children are a blessing.
