- 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. - A man’s heart plans his course,
but Yahweh directs his steps. - There are many plans in a man’s heart,
but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail. - “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.
Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? Let your beauty come not from the outward adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing, but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.Next verse!With image
