SCRIPTURE

"A man`s goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way." — Psalms 37:23 (ASV)

The steps. —Compare Proverbs 20:24; Proverbs 16:9, passages which are in favour of a general interpretation here, not confined to the good man. Render, man’s steps are established by Jehovah, i.e., all the stability in human conduct comes from His guidance.
