5  ⁱTrust in the Lord with all your heart,

and ^jdo not lean on your own understanding.

6  In all your ways ^kacknowledge him,

and he ^lwill make straight your paths.

28  Whoever ^strusts in his riches will fall,

but the righteous will ^tflourish like a green leaf.

20  Whoever gives thought to the word^{1 p}will discover good,

and blessed is he ^qwho trusts in the Lord.

24  A man’s ⁿsteps are from the Lord;

how then can man understand his way?

22  ^bA wise man scales the city of the mighty

and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

31  ⁿThe horse is made ready for the day of battle,

but ^othe victory belongs to the Lord.

17  ^pIncline your ear, and hear ^qthe words of the wise,

^rand apply your heart to my knowledge,

18  for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,

if all of them are ready on your lips.

19  That your trust may be in the Lord,

I have made them known to you today, even to you.

25  A greedy man ^sstirs up strife,

but the one who trusts in the Lord will ^tbe enriched.

26  Whoever ^utrusts in his own mind is a fool,

but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

25  ⁱThe fear of man lays a snare,

but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.

4  Who has ^oascended to heaven and come down?

Who has ^pgathered the wind in his fists?

Who has ^qwrapped up the waters in a garment?

Who has established all ^rthe ends of the earth?

^sWhat is his name, and what is his son’s name?

Surely you know!

5  ^tEvery word of God proves true;

he is ^ua shield to those who take refuge in him.

11  The heart of her husband trusts in her,

and he will have no lack of gain.
