Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. | Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. |
Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established. | Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed. |
|
There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail. | Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. |
A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps. | The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes 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.” | For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. |
May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel. | May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! |
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. | 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. |
Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. | For the Lord God does nothing without revealing 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. | The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. |
Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands. | The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your 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. | 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 have not love, I am nothing. |
