| A man may plan his own course, but the Lord makes his steps secure. | In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. |
| The Lord makes a man’s steps secure when he approves of his conduct. | The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him. |
|
| Guide my steps in accord with your word and never let evil triumph over me. | Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule 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. | To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should 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 tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning 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 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. |
