Or how can I watch the destruction of my kindred?\" (8:6). The verb there means \"stand as a passive witness to.\" Taken in this sense, Psalm 37:25 should be understood as, \"When the righteous was forsaken or his children forced to search for bread, I never merely stood and watched.\" Understood thus, it is a warning against being a mere bystander while other people suffer. It thus brings the Grace to a symmetrical close: It began by speaking of God's goodness in feeding the hungry and ends with an injunction for us to do likewise. This too is part of \"walking in God's ways.\""
