(A)And so find favor and [a]high esteem
In the sight of God and man.

(B)Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
(C)And lean not on your own understanding;
(D)In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall [b]direct your paths.

Do not be wise in your own (E)eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your [c]flesh,
And (F)strength[d] to your bones.

(G)Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 (H)So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
