²³ From Jehovah `are' the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

⁹ The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.

²⁶ Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways `are' established.

²³ I have known, O Jehovah, that not of man `is' his way, Not of man the going and establishing of his step.

⁹ The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.

⁸ Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!

¹³³ My steps establish by Thy saying, And any iniquity doth not rule over me.

² And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

³ He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

¹³ Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

⁵ O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,

¹⁶ and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased.

²⁴ But -- in this let the boaster boast himself, In understanding and knowing Me, For I `am' Jehovah, doing kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For in these I have delighted, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁰ Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

¹¹ Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

²⁰ An abomination to Jehovah `are' the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way `are' His delight.

⁵ To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.

¹¹ On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,

¹² The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.

¹ Balances of deceit `are' an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight `is' His delight.
