1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
2 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
