“…who stumble is innumerable times ascribed by Scripture to the power of the Lord: “Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall, but the Lord was my help,” and “Though he fall, he shall not be cast away, for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand,” and “The Lord helpeth them that are fallen.”” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 13.

(cxviii.) 13.
