Trust thou in Yahweh, with all thy heart, and, unto thine own understanding, do not lean:

In all thy ways, acknowledge him, and, he, will make straight thy paths.

In the way of wisdom, have I taught thee, I have guided thee in tracks of uprightness.

When thou walkest, thy step shall not be hemmed in, and, if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

I, wisdom, inhabit shrewdness, - and, the knowledge of sagacious things, I gain.

The reverence of Yahweh, is to hate wickedness: pride, arrogance, and the way of wickedness; And a mouth of perverse things, do I hate.

Mine, are counsel, and effective working, I, am understanding, mine, is valour:

By me, kings reign, and dignitaries decree righteousness;

By me, rulers govern, and nobles - all the righteous judges:

I love, them who love me, and, they who diligently seek me, find me:

Riches and honour, are with me, lordly wealth, and righteousness;

The integrity of the upright, shall guide them, but, the crookedness of the treacherous, shall be their ruin.

The plans of the righteous, are just, but, the counsels of the lawless, are deceitful.
