Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    on your own intelligence do not rely;
In all your ways be mindful of him,
    and he will make straight your paths.
Do not be wise in your own eyes,(A)
    fear the Lord and turn away from evil;
This will mean health for your flesh
    and vigor for your bones.
