For I know full well the plans I have for you, plans for your welfare and not for your misfortune, plans that will offer you a future filled with hope. | For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. |
Plans miscarry when counsel is lacking, but they succeed when there are many counselors. | Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established. |

Many are the plans in a human mind, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will prevail. | There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand. |
May he give you your heart’s desire and grant you success in all your plans. | May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose. |
A man may plan his own course, but the Lord makes his steps secure. | A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. |
O Lord, you are my God. I will exalt you and praise your name, for you have accomplished wonderful things, formulated in ages past, faithful and sure. | O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. |
Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets. | Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. |
The Lord watches over the stranger and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he blocks the way of the wicked. | The Lord watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. |
The Lord will fulfill his plan for me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the work of your hands. | The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. |
If I have the gift of prophecy and the ability to understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all the faith necessary to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. | And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. |
