Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. |
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. | He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. |
|
The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him. | The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. |
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. | A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. |
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. | I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. |
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. | Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. |
Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. |
For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good. | For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. |
