18 When I said, H559 My foot H7272 slippeth; H4131 thy mercy, H2617 O LORD, H3068 held me up. H5582
For I said, H559 Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice H8055 over me: when my foot H7272 slippeth, H4131 they magnify H1431 themselves against me.
Uphold H5564 me according unto thy word, H565 that I may live: H2421 and let me not be ashamed H954 of my hope. H7664 Hold thou me up, H5582 and I shall be safe: H3467 and I will have respect H8159 unto thy statutes H2706 continually. H8548
Hold up H8551 my goings H838 in thy paths, H4570 that my footsteps H6471 slip H4131 not.
