The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. | The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him. |

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip. | 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. |
