The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. |
He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known. | He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. |

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. | The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. |
A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. | A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. |
I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O 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 feed on His faithfulness. | Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. |
He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. |
For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple. They are upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, 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. |
