⁵ Trust in the Lord^(A) with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths^(B) straight.^[a](C)

⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;^(D)
    fear the Lord^(E) and shun evil.^(F)
8 This will bring health to your body^(G)
    and nourishment to your bones.^(H)

²¹ When my heart was grieved
    and my spirit embittered,
²² I was senseless^(A) and ignorant;
    I was a brute beast^(B) before you.

²³ Yet I am always with you;
    you hold me by my right hand.^(C)
24 You guide^(D) me with your counsel,^(E)
    and afterward you will take me into glory.
²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but you?^(F)
    And earth has nothing I desire besides you.^(G)
26 My flesh and my heart^(H) may fail,^(I)
    but God is the strength^(J) of my heart
    and my portion^(K) forever.

²⁷ Those who are far from you will perish;^(L)
    you destroy all who are unfaithful^(M) to you.
²⁸ But as for me, it is good to be near God.^(N)
    I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;^(O)
    I will tell of all your deeds.^(P)
