21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
21 For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.
21 For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders
21 Mark well that God doesn't miss a move you make; he's aware of every step you take.
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths.
21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
7 He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations- let not the rebellious rise up against him.
7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations-- let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
7 Ever sovereign in his high tower, he keeps his eye on the godless nations. Rebels don't dare raise a finger against him.
7 He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
7 For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude
(Read Psalm 66:1-7)
The holy church throughout all the world lifts up her voice, to laud that Name which is above every name, to make the praise of Jesus glorious, both by word and deed; that others may be led to glorify him also. But nothing can bring men to do this aright, unless his effectual grace create their hearts anew unto holiness; and in the redemption by the death of Christ, and the glorious deliverances it effects, are more wondrous works than Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage.

(Read Proverbs 5:15-23)
Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from these destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we attend to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eyes of our fellow-creatures, yet a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, who not only sees, but ponders all his goings. Those who are so foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction.
