⁹ Our lives are in his hands,
    and he keeps our feet from stumbling.

³ He will not let you stumble;
    the one who watches over you will not slumber.

⁶ Such people will not be overcome by evil.
    Those who are righteous will be long remembered.

¹⁸ I cried out, “I am slipping!”
    but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.

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.

³ The wicked will not rule the land of the godly,
    for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.

² He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress where I will never be shaken.

²⁹ Let the rich of the earth feast and worship.
    Bow before him, all who are mortal,
    all whose lives will end as dust.
