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.

²⁸ He who trusts in his wealth is he who will fall,
    but like a green leaf the righteous will flourish.

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

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.

³¹ A horse is prepared for the day of battle,
    but to Yahweh belongs the victory.

¹⁷ Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise;
    you shall apply your heart^[a] to my teaching.
¹⁸ For it is pleasant if you guard them within you;^[b]
    together they will be ready upon your lips.
¹⁹ In order for your trust to be in Yahweh,
    I have made them known to you today^[c]—even^[d] you.

²⁵ The greedy person^[a] will stir up strife,
    but he who trusts in Yahweh will be enriched.
²⁶ He who trusts in his own heart^[b] is a fool,
    but he who walks in wisdom will be saved.

²⁵ The fear of a person will lay a snare,
    but he who trusts in Yahweh will be secure.

⁴ Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
    Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of his hand?
    Who has wrapped water in a^[a] garment?
    Who has established all the ends of the earth?
    What is his name and what is the name of his child?
    For surely you know.
⁵ Every word of God is flawless;
    he is a shield for him who takes refuge in him.
