And whoever ^(A)trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

But in expressing his ^(A)own heart.

^4 (A)The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;
^(B)The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

The righteous run to it and are ^[a]safe.

³ The foolishness of a man twists his way,
And his heart frets against the Lord.

²⁴ A man’s steps are of the Lord;
How then can a man understand his own way?
