21 “Submit to God and be at peace(A) with him;(B)
    in this way prosperity will come to you.(C)
22 Accept instruction from his mouth(D)
    and lay up his words(E) in your heart.(F)
23 If you return(G) to the Almighty, you will be restored:(H)
    If you remove wickedness far from your tent(I)
24 and assign your nuggets(J) to the dust,
    your gold(K) of Ophir(L) to the rocks in the ravines,(M)
25 then the Almighty will be your gold,(N)
    the choicest silver for you.(O)
26 Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty(P)
    and will lift up your face(Q) to God.(R)
27 You will pray to him,(S) and he will hear you,(T)
    and you will fulfill your vows.(U)
28 What you decide on will be done,(V)
    and light(W) will shine on your ways.(X)
29 When people are brought low(Y) and you say, ‘Lift them up!’
    then he will save the downcast.(Z)
30 He will deliver even one who is not innocent,(AA)
    who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”(AB)

21 (A)“Agree with God, and (B)be at peace;
    thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from (C)his mouth,
    and (D)lay up his words in your heart.
23 If you (E)return to the Almighty you will be (F)built up;
    if you (G)remove injustice far from your tents,
24 if you lay gold in (H)the dust,
    and gold of (I)Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,
25 then the Almighty will be your gold
    and your precious silver.
26 For then you (J)will delight yourself in the Almighty
    and (K)lift up your face to God.
27 You will (L)make your prayer to him, and he will hear you,
    and you will (M)pay your vows.
28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
    and (N)light will shine on your ways.
29 For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;[a]
    but he saves (O)the lowly.
30 He (P)delivers even the one who is not innocent,
    who will be delivered through (Q)the cleanness of your hands.”
