The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps. | We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. |
Our steps are made firm by the Lord, when he delights in our way. | The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. |
|
Keep my steps steady according to your promise, and never let iniquity have dominion over me. | Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. |
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps. | For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. |
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I shall come out like gold. My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside. | But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold. For I have stayed on God’s paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside. |
You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand has supported me; your help has made me great. You gave me a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip. | You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great. You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping. |
