My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.
For I have stayed on God’s paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside.
Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil.
He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.
The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.
I chased my enemies and caught them; I did not stop until they were conquered.
I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.”
Our hearts have not deserted you. We have not strayed from your path.
I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.
I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course.
“He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone.
