my steps have remained firmly in your paths. My feet have not slipped.
I have followed his footsteps closely. I have stayed on his path and did not turn from it.
Make my steps secure through your promise, and do not let any sin control me.
He will not let you fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep.
The Lord guards you from every evil. He guards your life.
You make a wide path for me to walk on so that my feet do not slip.
I chased my enemies and caught up with them. I did not return until I had ended their lives.
I said, “Do not let them gloat over me. When my foot slips, do not let them promote themselves at my expense.”
Our hearts never turned away. Our feet never left your path.
When I said, “My feet are slipping,” your mercy, O Lord, continued to hold me up.
O Lord, I know that the way humans act is not under their control. Humans do not direct their steps as they walk.
He safeguards the steps of his faithful ones, but wicked people are silenced in darkness because humans cannot succeed by their own strength.
