Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the Lord holds him up with his hand.
KJV
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

Commentary
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
Isa 41:10
; and See Gill on
Psa 37:17
.
