Is it not great that we can have confidence as believers that if walk in step with God he promises that we will:
- Not Be Utterly Cast Down
- Not Be Hurled Headlong
- Not Down For Long
Check out the three translations of Psalms 37:23-24 below - as they each convey this promise in a unique way:
Psalm 37 (NIV)
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.
Psalm 37 (NASB)
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.
Psalm 37 (The Message)
23Stalwart walks in step with GOD; his path blazed by GOD, he's happy.
24If he stumbles, he's not down for long; GOD has a grip on his hand.
