| For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. | For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. |
| Without counsel, plans go wrong, but with many advisers they succeed. | Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. |
|
| Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. | Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. |
| The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps. | A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. |
| The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established. | There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. |
| May he grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans. | Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. |
| O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure. | O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. |
| Surely the Lord God does nothing, without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. | Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. |
| The Lord watches over the strangers; he upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. | The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. |
| The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. | The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. |
| And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove 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, and have not charity, I am nothing. |
