²¹ There are many plans in a man’s heart,
^(A)Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

²⁴ A man’s steps are of the Lord;
How then can a man understand his own way?

²³ O Lord, I know the ^(A)way of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.

⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.

¹⁷ Thus says ^(A)the Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
Who teaches you to profit,
^(B)Who leads you by the way you should go.
