A man may plan his own course, but the Lord makes his steps secure. | The mind of a person plans his way, But the Lord directs 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, And He delights in his way. |
|
Guide my steps in accord with your word and never let evil triumph over me. | Establish my footsteps in Your word, And do not let any wrongdoing have power 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 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. |
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 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. |
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 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. |
