Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 17:5

"My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped." — Psalms 17:5 (ASV)

Hold up. —Not, as in the Authorized Version, imperative, which is directly opposed to the context. The psalmist still asserts his innocence. Render:—

My course kept close in your tracks,
My footsteps have not wavered.

(Psalms 41:12.)

Paths. —Literally, wheel-tracks.
