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