Psaume 37:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:24

Though he fall
Into temptation, and by it into sins, and these very great ones; from a lively and comfortable exercise of grace, and a degree of steadfastness in the doctrine of grace:

he shall not be utterly cast down;
because he is in the arms of everlasting love, and in the hands of Christ Jesus; is on him as the sure foundation, and is kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, and so shall not perish, but have everlasting life;

for the Lord upholdeth [him with] his hand;
with the right hand of his righteousness, and keeps him from falling finally and totally; see ( Isaiah 41:10 ) ; and (See Gill on Psalms 37:17).

Psaume 37:24 In-Context

22 Car ceux que bénit l'Eternel possèdent le pays, Et ceux qu'il maudit sont retranchés.

23 L'Eternel affermit les pas de l'homme, Et il prend plaisir à sa voie;

24 S'il tombe, il n'est pas terrassé, Car l'Eternel lui prend la main.

25 J'ai été jeune, j'ai vieilli; Et je n'ai point vu le juste abandonné, Ni sa postérité mendiant son pain.

26 Toujours il est compatissant, et il prête; Et sa postérité est bénie.
