David preaches to those who feel life is not fair because the ungodly flourish while the godly suffer. In vs. 24, I see three options. I could use Csv, Temporal, or If/Th. I'm going with the NAS. I like the idea that falling will happen - so it isn't conditional (If/Th) as much as to be expected -- when it happens. The Csv is useful to give the idea of God's intervention. Falling would naturally lead to being "hurled headlong". But as a contrary statement, he will not be hurled headlong. In vs. 25, I choose Csv because it seems implied in 25a that there is a "though" that matches the "yet". The idea seems to be, if one had only lived a short life it would make sense that they had not experienced seeing righteous people forsaken. But David has been both young and old, and though he has lived a long life, he has not seen what one would think is natural to see - he has never seen the righteous forsaken.
