² But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

¹⁸ When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.

⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail.

⁸ For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

¹⁶ For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

¹⁵ As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

⁵ My steps have held fast to your paths, My feet have not slipped.

²³ but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

²⁴ What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

¹³ But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.

⁷ But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house: I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

⁴ As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn't I be impatient?

⁵ In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune, It is ready for them whose foot slips.

⁷ David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.

²³ Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

¹⁵ If it seem evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.
