Psalms 17:5

I carefully obey your commands; ¹  I do not deviate from them. ² 

My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not slipped.

My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.

My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.

I'm staying on your trail; I'm putting one foot In front of the other. I'm not giving up.

I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.

My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.

Uphold my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.

I carefully obey your commands; ¹  I do not deviate from them. ² 

¹ tn Heb “my steps stay firm in your tracks.” The infinitive absolute functions here as a finite verb (see GKC 347 §113.gg). God’s “tracks” are his commands, i.e., the moral pathways he has prescribed for the psalmist.

² tn Heb “my footsteps do not stagger.”
