Direction And Advance

Τὰ διαβήματα μου κατεύθυνον κατὰ τὸ λόγιον σου, καὶ μὴ κατακυριευσάτω μου πᾶσα ἀνομία.

Κατὰ τὸ λόγοιν τοῦ Θεοῦ κατευθύνει· τὰ διαβήματα μου, ἐκ κακίας καὶ ἀγνοίας εἰς ἀρετὴν καὶ γνῶσιν τῆς ἀληθείας διαβαίνοντος. Εὐθυντὴρ γὰρ καὶ ἡγεμὼν τῶν τοιούτων διαβημάτων ὁ ὀρθὸς λόγος.


Εὐσέβιος ὁ Καισάρειος, Ὑπομνηματα Ἐις Τους ψαλμους, ψαλμος ΡΙΗ'


Source: Migne PG 23.1388b

Direct my steps according to your word, and let no unrighteousness rule over me. 1

Directed according to the word of God, that my steps be advanced from wickedness and ignorance to virtue and knowledge of the truth. For the right word is the guide and leader of such steps


Eusebius of Caesarea, Commentary on the Psalms, Psalm 118

1 Ps 118.133
