He made the sky sink ¹  as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet.

He gives me the agility of a deer; ¹  he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain. ² 

I beat them ¹  to death; ²  they fall at my feet. ³ 

You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy; you enable me to stand ¹  in a wide open place.

He subdued nations beneath us ¹  and countries ²  under our feet.

He preserves our lives ¹  and does not allow our feet to slip.

But as for me, my feet almost slipped; my feet almost slid out from under me. ¹ 

They will lift you up in their hands, so you will not slip and fall on a stone. ¹ 

If I say, “My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O Lord, supports me.

Praise ¹  the Lord our God! Worship ²  before his footstool! He is holy!

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

May he not allow your foot to slip! May your protector ¹  not sleep! ² 

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

for they ¹  are eager ²  to inflict harm, ³  and they hasten ⁴  to shed blood. ⁵

for the Lord will be ¹  the source of your confidence, ²  and he will guard your foot ³  from being caught in a trap. ⁴ 

Do not turn ¹  to the right or to the left; turn yourself ²  away from evil. ³ 

a heart that devises wicked plans, ¹  feet that are swift to run ²  to evil,

Can ¹  a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?

(She is loud and rebellious, she ¹  does not remain ²  at home –
