The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
The path of those who do right is straight and level. You, God, who are perfectly righteous, carefully guide the way of those who live justly.
God promises that those who live righteously will have a clear, guided path because God himself watches over and directs their way.
