NET Bible
"I carefully obey your commands; I do not deviate from them."
— Psalms 17:5, NET Bible
“Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.”
“My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped. ”
“My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.”
“The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.”
“I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.”
“Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.”
Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right!
You have scrutinized my inner motives; you have examined me during the night. You have carefully evaluated me, but you find no sin. I am determined I will say nothing sinful.
As for the actions of people– just as you have commanded, I have not followed in the footsteps of violent men.
I carefully obey your commands; I do not deviate from them.
I call to you for you will answer me, O God. Listen to me! Hear what I say!
Accomplish awesome, faithful deeds, you who powerfully deliver those who look to you for protection from their enemies.
Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings!
