^26 (A)Ponder^[a] the path of your feet;
    ^(B)then all your ways will be sure.
^27 (C)Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
    turn your foot away from evil.

⁸ Behold, I will bring them ^(A)from the north country
    and ^(B)gather them from ^(C)the farthest parts of the earth,
among them ^(D)the blind and the lame,
    the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
    a great company, they shall return here.
^9 (E)With weeping they shall come,
    ^(F)and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back,
I will make them ^(G)walk by brooks of water,
    ^(H)in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
for ^(I)I am a father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is ^(J)my firstborn.

^16 (A)And I will lead the blind
    in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
    I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
    ^(B)the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
    and I do not forsake them.

^6 (A)then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
    and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
^(B)For waters break forth in the wilderness,
    and streams in the desert;
