23 When a man’s steps follow the Lord,
    God is pleased with his ways.
24 If he stumbles, he will not fall,
    because the Lord holds his hand.

    I have never seen their children begging for food.

25 I was young and now I am old,
    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken(E)
    or their children begging(F) bread.
