NETBible

For the ways of a person¹ are in front of the Lord’s eyes, and the Lord² weighs³ all that person’s⁴ paths.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “man.”

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn BDB 814 s.v. פָּלַס 2 suggests that the participle מְפַּלֵּס (mÿpalles) means “to make level [or, straight].” As one’s ways are in front of the eyes of the Lord, they become straight or right. It could be translated “weighs” since it is a denominative from the noun for “balance, scale”; the Lord weighs or examines the actions.

⁴tn Heb “all his”; the referent (the person mentioned in the first half of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
