I have done what you told me; I have not failed.
My feet have closely followed his steps; I have stayed in his way; I did not turn aside.
Guide my steps as you promised; don’t let any sin control me.
He will not let you be defeated. He who guards you never sleeps.
The Lord will protect you from all dangers; he will guard your life.
You give me a better way to live, so I live as you want me to.
I chased my enemies and caught them. I did not quit until they were destroyed.
I said, “Don’t let them laugh at me or brag when I am defeated.”
Our hearts haven’t turned away from you, and we haven’t stopped following you.
I said, “I am about to fall,” but, Lord, your love kept me safe.
Lord, I know that our lives don’t really belong to us. We can’t control our own lives.
He protects those who are loyal to him, but evil people will be silenced in darkness. Power is not the key to success.
