23 The Lord makes firm the steps

of the one who delights in him;

24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,

for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,

yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken

or their children begging bread.

23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,

when he delights in his way;

24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,

for the Lord upholds his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or his children begging for bread.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: And he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.

He delights in every detail of their lives.

24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,

for the Lord holds them by the hand.

25 Once I was young, and now I am old.

Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned

or their children begging for bread.

23 When people’s steps follow the Lord,

God is pleased with their ways.

24 If they stumble, they will not fall,

because the Lord holds their hand.

25 I was young, and now I am old,

but I have never seen good people left helpless

or their children begging for food.

23 A man’s goings are established of Jehovah;

And he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;

For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his seed begging bread.

23 The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way: 24 though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:

23 A person’s steps are directed by the Lord, 

and the Lord delights in his way. 

24 When he falls, he will not be thrown down headfirst 

because the Lord holds on to his hand. 

25 I have been young, and now I am old, 

but I have never seen a righteous person abandoned 

or his descendants begging for food. 

23 A man’s steps are established by the Lord,

and He takes pleasure in his way.

24 Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,

because the Lord holds his hand.

25 I have been young and now I am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned

or his children begging for bread.

23 Our steps are made firm by the Lord,

when he delights in our way;

24 though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong,

for the Lord holds us by the hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or their children begging bread.

23 The steps of a man are established by Yahweh,

and he takes pleasure in his way.

24 Though he fall, he will not be cast headlong,

for Yahweh supports him with his hand.

25 I was a youth, but I am now old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or his children begging for bread.

23 If the Lord is pleased with the way a man lives,

he makes his steps secure.

24 Even if the man trips, he won’t fall.

The Lord’s hand takes good care of him.

25 I once was young, and now I’m old.

But I’ve never seen godly people deserted.

I’ve never seen their children begging for bread.

23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,

And He delights in his way.

24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,

Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

25 I have been young and now I am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

Or his descendants begging bread.
