21 Come to terms with God and be at peace;(A)
in this way[a] good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from his mouth,(B)
and place his sayings(C) in your heart.
23 If you return(D) to the Almighty, you will be renewed.
If you banish injustice from your tent
24 and consign your gold to the dust,
the gold of Ophir(E) to the stones in the wadis,
25 the Almighty will be your gold
and your finest silver.
26 Then you will delight(F) in the Almighty
and lift up your face to God.(G)
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,(H)
and you will fulfill your vows.
28 When you make a decision, it will be carried out,[b]
and light will shine on your ways.(I)
29 When others are humiliated and you say, “Lift them up,”
God will save the humble.[c](J)
30 He will even rescue the guilty one,
who will be rescued by the purity of your hands.(K)
