For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

Lord, lead me in Your righteousness
because of my adversaries;
make Your way straight before me.

His ways are always secure;
Your lofty judgments are beyond his sight;
he scoffs at all his adversaries.

Concerning what people do:
by the word of Your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord
and have not turned from my God to wickedness.

God—His way is perfect;
the word of the Lord is pure.
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

God—He clothes me with strength
and makes my way perfect.

and my ankles do not give way.

teach me Your paths.

therefore He shows sinners the way.

He will show him the way he should choose.

Because of my adversaries,
show me Your way, Lord,
and lead me on a level path.

Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.

I will instruct you and show you the way to go;
with My eye on you, I will give counsel.

Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

For they do not speak in friendly ways,
but contrive deceitful schemes
against those who live peacefully in the land.

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him, and He will act,

Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him;
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the man who carries out evil plans.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow
to bring down the afflicted and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

A man’s steps are established by the Lord,
and He takes pleasure in his way.

Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
and He will exalt you to inherit the land.
You will watch when the wicked are destroyed.

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm.I said, “I will guard my ways
so that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth with a muzzle
as long as the wicked are in my presence.”

This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.Selah

to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.

and Your path through the great waters,
but Your footprints were unseen.

and Israel would follow My ways,

surely the Lord will declare peace
to His people, His godly ones,
and not let them go back to foolish ways.

Righteousness will go before Him
to prepare the way for His steps.
