³³ The ^(A)curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked one,
But He ^(B)blesses the abode of the righteous.
³⁴ Though ^(C)He scoffs at the scoffers,
Yet ^(D)He gives grace to the humble.

²³ Guard your heart with all diligence,
For ^(A)from it flow the springs of life.
²⁴ Put away from you a ^(B)perverse mouth
And ^(C)put devious lips far from you.
²⁵ Let your eyes look directly ahead
And even let your eyelids be fixed straight in front of you.
^26 (D)Watch the track of your feet
And all your ^(E)ways will be established.
^27 (F)Do not turn to the right nor to the left;
^(G)Turn your foot from evil.

³⁵ For ^(A)he who finds me finds life
And ^(B)obtains favor from Yahweh.

¹⁷ The man of ^(A)lovingkindness deals bountifully with his soul,
But the cruel man brings trouble on his flesh.
