Man’s goings are of the Lord. — Comp. Jeremiah 10:23 and the collect, “O God, from whom... all just works do proceed.”
How can a man then understand his own way? — i.e., how he should go. So much the more reason for the prayer of Psalms 25:3, “Shew me thy ways, O Lord.” (Comp. Psalms 119:33, ff, Psalms 143:8.)
