⁵ Trust Yahweh^[a] with all your heart;
    do not lean toward your own understanding.
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will straighten your paths.
⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear Yahweh and retreat from evil.
⁸ There shall be healing for your flesh,^[b]
    and refreshment for your body.

¹² There is a way that seems upright to^[a] a man,
    but its end is the way of death.

³ Commit your work to Yahweh,
    and your plans will be established.

²⁰ He who is attentive to a matter will find goodness,
    and he who trusts in Yahweh, his own happiness.

² A fool will not take pleasure in understanding,
    but in expressing his heart.^[a]

⁴ Deep waters are words of the mouth of a man;
    a gushing stream is a fountain of wisdom.

¹⁰ A tower of strength is the name of Yahweh;
    into him^[a] the righteous will run and be safe.

³ As for the folly of humankind, its way leads to ruin,
    and against Yahweh his heart^[a] will rage.

²⁴ Away from Yahweh are the steps of a strong man,
    and how will humankind understand his ways?

²² To a city of warriors, the wise ascends,
    and he will bring down the stronghold—its object of trust.
