21 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and (A)be at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive, please, (B)instruction from His mouth,
And (C)lay up His words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
24 Then you will (D)lay your gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 Yes, the Almighty will be your [a]gold
And your precious silver;
26 For then you will have your (E)delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
27 (F)You will make your prayer to Him,
He will hear you,
And you will pay your vows.
28 You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.
29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!
Then (G)He will save the humble person.
30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent;
Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”

23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up; thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy gold, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and He shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, ‘There is lifting up!’ And He shall save the humble person.

30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.”
