Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Righteousness shall go before him and shall set (us) in the way of his steps - rather, 'and shall set in the (righteous) way His step' (Isaiah 11:3-5) etc.; or else, 'Righteousness shall go before Him, and set its steps in the way' (so the Chaldaic, Vulgate, Septuagint, and Arabic) - i:e., shall freely pursue its way. Contrast the opposite state (Isaiah 59:14).
