| The mind of a person plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. | In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. |
| The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way. | The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him. |
|
| For you have been called for this purpose, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in His steps. | To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. |
| Establish my footsteps in Your word, And do not let any wrongdoing have power over me. | Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me. |
| You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great. You enlarge my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped. | You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great. You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way. |
| But He knows the way I take; When He has put me to the test, I will come out as gold. My foot has held on to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside. | But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside. |
