I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
Declare ... number of ... steps - I would accurately declare all my ways-my whole course of life. A good conscience imparts a princely dignity before man, and free assurance in approaching God. This can be realized, not in Job's way (cf. Job 42:5-6), but only through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:22).
