The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way;
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail.
Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.
I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.
but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!
A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord, but those of blameless ways are his delight.
