Then the angel of the Lord stood in a path ¹  among the vineyards, where there was a wall on either side. ² 

But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, ¹  growing brighter and brighter ²  until full day. ³ 

Turn aside from the way, stray off the path. ¹  Remove from our presence the Holy One of Israel.” ² 

You widen my path; ¹  my feet ²  do not slip.

When he imposed a limit ¹  for the rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, ² 

You widen my path; ¹  my feet ²  do not slip.

He sent his anger in full force; ¹  he did not spare them from death; he handed their lives over to destruction. ² 

You walked through the sea; ¹  you passed through the surging waters, ²  but left no footprints. ³ 

My child, do not go down ¹  their way, ²  withhold yourself ³  from their path; ⁴ 

We have not been unfaithful, ¹  nor have we disobeyed your commands. ² 

The one who heeds instruction ¹  is on the way to ²  life, but the one who rejects ³  rebuke goes astray.

And as he sowed, some seeds ¹  fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

Will you keep to the old path ¹  that evil men have walked –

He was passing by the street near her corner, making his way ¹  along the road to her house ² 

He has obstructed my paths ¹  and torn me to pieces; ²  he has made me desolate.

And as he sowed, some seed ¹  fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

From whom does he receive directions? ¹  Who ²  teaches him the correct way to do things, ³  or imparts knowledge to him, or instructs him in skillful design? ⁴ 

These are the ones on the path where the word is sown: Whenever they hear, immediately Satan ¹  comes and snatches the word ²  that was sown in them.

May their path be ¹  dark and slippery, as the Lord’s angel chases them!

I stay away ¹  from the evil path, so that I might keep your instructions. ²
