Establishmy footstepsin Your word,And do not let anyiniquityhavedominionover me.
But one who looks intentlyat the perfectlaw,the [law] of liberty,and abidesby it, not having becomea forgetfulhearerbut an effectualdoer,this manwill be blessedin what he does.
When you walk,your stepswill not be impeded;And ifyou run,you will not stumble.
