Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. | Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun. |

Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. |
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. | A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. |
