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