My steps have kept on Your paths. My feet have not slipped.
My foot has held closely to His steps; I have kept to His way and have not strayed.
Direct my footsteps in Your word, and let no iniquity get mastery over me.
He will not let your foot slip. Your Keeper will not slumber.
Adonai will protect you from all evil. He will guard your life.
You gave me the shield of Your salvation. Your right hand upholds me, Your gentleness makes me great.
You broaden my steps beneath me, so my ankles have not slipped.
But I wait for You, Adonai— You will answer, O Lord my God.
All this came upon us, though we did not forget You, nor were we false to Your covenant.
If I say: “My foot has slipped,” Your mercy, Adonai, will hold me up.
I know, Adonai, that a man’s way is not his own, nor does man, as he walks, direct his steps.
He guards the steps of His godly ones, but the wicked are silenced in darkness. For one does not prevail by might.
