| 14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; | 14They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green, |
| 15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. | 15to declare: "The LORD is just; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him." |
