Keeping our soul in life, He has not let our foot slip.
Surely he will never be shaken. The righteous are remembered forever.
He will not let your foot slip. Your Keeper will not slumber.
For a scepter of wickedness will not rest over the land of the righteous— lest the righteous set their hands to evil.
For the kingdom belongs to Adonai, and He rules over the nations.
Cast your burden on Adonai, and He will sustain you. He will never let the righteous be shaken.
My soul, wait in stillness, only for God— from Him comes my salvation.
My soul, wait in stillness, only for God— for from Him comes my expectation.
If I say: “My foot has slipped,” Your mercy, Adonai, will hold me up.
for ‘In Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His offspring.’
He guards the steps of His godly ones, but the wicked are silenced in darkness. For one does not prevail by might.
If anyone rises to pursue you and seek your life, then let my lord’s life be bound up in the bundle of the living—with Adonai your God. But let the soul of your enemies be hurled away as from the hollow of a sling.
