George Leo Haydock

Him. To break the fall. Hebrew, “the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.” (Protestants) (Haydock) — The just man is like a courageous wrestler, who may slip, but yields not. (Origen; Eusebius) — His fall is not mortal, (Calmet) though he may be guilty of venial sin, Proverbs xxiv. (Worthington)
