Psalms 37:14 — KJV
The poor and needy. See on Ps. 9:18.
Of upright conversation. Literally, “the upright of way.” A number of Hebrew manuscripts and the LXX have “the upright in heart.” At the time the KJV was translated the word “conversation” meant man’s whole manner of living (see Ps. 50:23; Gal. 1:13; Eph. 4:22; etc.).
