Uphold my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.
Our heart has not turned back, Nor have our steps departed from Your way;
Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”
You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.
If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness. “For by strength no man shall prevail.
O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
