It is not in their power to determine what will happen to them.51
Footnotes
- 50 Heb “Not to the man his way.” For the nuance of “fate, destiny, or the way things turn out” for the Hebrew word “way” see Hag 1:5, Isa 40:27 and probably Ps 49:13 (cf. 218 דֶּרֶךְ 5). For the idea of “control” or “hold in one’s power” for the preposition “to” see Ps 3:8 (cf. 513 לְ 5.b[a]).
- 51 Heb “Not to a man the walking and the establishing his step.”
