“Does not God see my ways
And count all my steps?
He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path.
The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord,
And He delights in his way [and blesses his path].
“But now You number [each of] my steps;
You do not observe nor take note of my sin.
You enlarge the path beneath me and make my steps secure,
So that my feet will not slip.

But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
When you walk, your steps will not be impeded [for your path will be clear and open];
And when you run, you will not stumble.
