'Ways' in the Bible

“Is not your fear of God your confidence,And [is not] the integrity and uprightness of your ways your hope?

“So are the paths of all who forget God;And the hope of the godless will perish,

“Even though He kills me;I will hope in Him.Nevertheless, I will argue my ways to His face.

“Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his ways,And he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

“Yet they say to God, ‘Depart from us,For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.

“Is it any pleasure or joy to the Almighty that you are righteous?Or is it of benefit to Him that you make your ways perfect?

“You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you;And the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.

“My feet have carefully followed His steps;I have kept His ways and not turned aside.

“Others have been with those who rebel against the light;They do not want to know its waysNor stay in its paths.

“God gives them security, and they are supported;And His eyes are on their ways.

“Yet these are just the fringes of His ways [mere samples of His power],The faintest whisper of His voice!Who can contemplate the thunder of His [full] mighty power?”

“On my right the [rabble] brood rises;They push my feet away, and they build up their ways of destruction against me [like an advancing army].

“Does not God see my waysAnd count all my steps?

“For God pays a man according to his work,And He will make every man find [appropriate] compensation according to his way.

“For God’s eyes are on the ways of a man,And He sees all his steps.

“He breaks mighty men without inquiry,And sets others in their place.

Because they turned aside from following HimAnd would not consider or show regard for any of His ways,
