A man may plan his own course, but the Lord makes his steps secure. | The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. |
The Lord makes a man’s steps secure when he approves of his conduct. | The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way. |
|
Guide my steps in accord with your word and never let evil triumph over me. | Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me. |
This, in fact, is what you have been called to do, because Christ himself suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his footsteps. | For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. |
And yet he is aware of everywhere I go; if he were to test me, I would emerge like pure gold. My footsteps have not strayed from the path he established; I have followed his way and never turned aside. | But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside. |
You have given me the shield of your salvation; your right hand sustains me, and your goodness makes me great. You broadened the path beneath me so that my feet have never stumbled. | You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great. You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip. |
