(A)Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And (B)do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways (C)acknowledge Him,
And He will (D)make your paths straight.
(E)Do not be wise in your own eyes;
(F)Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
It will be (G)healing to your [a]body
And (H)refreshment to your bones.
(I)Honor the Lord from your wealth
And from the (J)first of all your produce;
10 So your (K)barns will be filled with plenty
And your (L)vats will overflow with new wine.
11 (M)My son, do not reject the [b]discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
12 For (N)whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even (O)as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

13 (P)How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who gains understanding.
