Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
Ver. 24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down] See Proverbs 24:16. If he fall, yet he falleth forward; and if he be cast down, yet be continueth not, Quum ruit non corruit (Vat.); so 2 Corinthians 4:9; as do the wicked, Ezekiel 32:4, whom God casteth into the briers, and there leaveth them.
For the Lord upholdeth him with his hand] God's hand is still under his; and his goodness lower than they can fall. His supporting grace preserveth them from utter recidivation; his Almighty power, from utter destruction.
