- Commit your deeds to Yahweh,
and your plans shall succeed. - Where there is no counsel, plans fail;
but in a multitude of counselors they are established. - There are many plans in a man’s heart,
but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail. - A man’s heart plans his course,
but Yahweh directs his steps. - “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.”
- May he grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfill all your counsel. - Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
- Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing,
unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. - Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. - Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me.
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands. - If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken. Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.Next verse!With image
