² I trust in you;^(B)
    do not let me be put to shame,
    nor let my enemies triumph over me.
³ No one who hopes in you
    will ever be put to shame,^(C)
but shame will come on those
    who are treacherous^(D) without cause.

⁴ Show me your ways, Lord,
    teach me your paths.^(E)
5 Guide me in your truth^(F) and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior,^(G)
    and my hope is in you^(H) all day long.
⁶ Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,^(I)
    for they are from of old.
⁷ Do not remember the sins of my youth^(J)
    and my rebellious ways;^(K)
according to your love^(L) remember me,
    for you, Lord, are good.^(M)

⁸ Good and upright^(N) is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs^(O) sinners in his ways.
⁹ He guides^(P) the humble in what is right
    and teaches them^(Q) his way.
¹⁰ All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful^(R)
    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.^(S)
11 For the sake of your name,^(T) Lord,
    forgive^(U) my iniquity,^(V) though it is great.

¹² Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?^(W)
    He will instruct them in the ways^(X) they should choose.^[b]
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,^(Y)
    and their descendants will inherit the land.^(Z)
14 The Lord confides^(AA) in those who fear him;
    he makes his covenant known^(AB) to them.
¹⁵ My eyes are ever on the Lord,^(AC)
    for only he will release my feet from the snare.^(AD)

¹⁶ Turn to me^(AE) and be gracious to me,^(AF)
    for I am lonely^(AG) and afflicted.
¹⁷ Relieve the troubles^(AH) of my heart
    and free me from my anguish.^(AI)
18 Look on my affliction^(AJ) and my distress^(AK)
    and take away all my sins.^(AL)
19 See how numerous are my enemies^(AM)
    and how fiercely they hate me!^(AN)

²⁰ Guard my life^(AO) and rescue me;^(AP)
    do not let me be put to shame,^(AQ)
    for I take refuge^(AR) in you.
²¹ May integrity^(AS) and uprightness^(AT) protect me,
    because my hope, Lord,^[c] is in you.^(AU)

²² Deliver Israel,^(AV) O God,
    from all their troubles!

27 Do not boast^(A) about tomorrow,
    for you do not know what a day may bring.^(B)

² Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;
    an outsider, and not your own lips.^(C)

³ Stone is heavy and sand^(D) a burden,
    but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

⁴ Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,
    but who can stand before jealousy?^(E)

⁵ Better is open rebuke
    than hidden love.

⁶ Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
    but an enemy multiplies kisses.^(F)

⁷ One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
    but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

⁸ Like a bird that flees its nest^(G)
    is anyone who flees from home.

⁹ Perfume^(H) and incense bring joy to the heart,
    and the pleasantness of a friend
    springs from their heartfelt advice.

¹⁰ Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
    and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster^(I) strikes you—
    better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;^(J)
    then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.^(K)

¹² The prudent see danger and take refuge,
    but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.^(L)

⁶ Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(J)
    did not consider equality with God^(K) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷ rather, he made himself nothing^(L)
    by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(M)
    being made in human likeness.^(N)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(O)—
        even death on a cross!^(P)

⁹ Therefore God exalted him^(Q) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(R)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(S)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(T)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(U)
    to the glory of God the Father.
