"The steps of a good man are ordered by The Lord; and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for The Lord upholdeth him with His hand." Psalms 37:23-24
It is not clear to me from my research whether the "... he ..." and "... his ..." in this verse should be read as "... and The Lord delighteth in a good man's way ..." or as "... and a good man delighteth in The Lord's way ..." It appears that either way we read it could be appropriate. However, the second seems to be consistent with Psalms 1:2.
What is very clear is that the steps and direction of a good person are established or guided by The Lord and even though we fall down, stumble in our walk with Him, or suffer hardships, we won't stay down, we will recover because The Lord is holding us up. We are in God's hand.
