Psalms 37:23–24

⁹A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

¹³³Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

²⁶Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

⁹He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

²He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

⁸The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

¹³Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

²³¶ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

³He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

¹⁰He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹¹The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

¹¹My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

¹²Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

⁵Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

⁵O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

²⁴But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

¹A FALSE balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.

²⁰They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁶For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

¹⁴The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.

⁷Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

⁸¶ Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.

²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

²⁸And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

²⁹My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

³⁰I and my Father are one.

³¹¶ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³²But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

²He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

²⁰He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

³⁴And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

⁶The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

⁶⁰And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

⁶¹And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶²And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
