his trodden paths

Rootדרך (d-r-k)
Core Meaningsto tread, to march, to step, path, journey, manner of life
Semantic RangeLiteral roads or routes; journeys; directions; figurative course of life; behavior; customary practices; moral conduct; divine dealings or actions
Conceptual Significance"Way" imagery is central in the Hebrew Bible, expressing both physical journey and moral orientation. "His trodden paths" can describe a person's habitual conduct or, when referring to יהוה, His established patterns of action—His covenantal dealings, justice, and righteous order.
Morphological NotesCommon noun, plural construct form (דְּרָכֵי) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־ו); from the feminine noun דֶּרֶךְ. Though singular in form דֶּרֶךְ can be masculine or feminine, here it appears in the plural construct + suffix form meaning "his ways/paths."
Rendering RationaleThe noun דֶּרֶךְ derives from the root דרך, "to tread" or "to march," and fundamentally denotes a path formed by walking. Rendering it as "trodden paths" preserves this concrete, root-based imagery. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("his"), hence "his trodden paths."
