Psalm 17:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!

He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.

"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.

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.

You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.

For I said, "Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!"

When I thought, "My foot slips," your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.

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.
