23. Formal Translation I know, O LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Guide}, that a man’s way is not in his own control; nor is it in the one who walks to direct his steps. |
23. Dynamic Translation LORD {Yahweh, Life Director}, I realize that people do not control their own path; it is not for someone walking to determine each step. |
