The Lord Directs Our Steps

1

¶ The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

2

¶ All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

3

¶ Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

4

¶ The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5

¶ Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6

¶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

7

¶ When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8

¶ Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

9

¶ A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
