Psalm 17:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;

And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

“He keeps the feet of His godly ones,

But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness;

For not by might shall a man prevail.

I know, O Lord, that a man’s way is not in himself,

Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.

You enlarge my steps under me,
And my

feet have not slipped.

For I said, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me.”

If I should say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

I know, O Lord, that a man’s way is not in himself,

Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.
