Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

28 Loyalty and faithfulness preserve the king,
    and his throne is upheld by righteousness.[a]
29 The glory of young men is their strength,
    but the beauty of old men is their gray hair.
30 Blows that wound cleanse away evil;
    strokes make clean the innermost parts.
