Psalm 37:23 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 37.

19 In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

20 But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.

22 Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.

23 The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.

24 Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand.

25 I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

26 They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.

27 Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.
