2 So that thou incline [07181] thine ear [0241] unto wisdom [02451], and apply [05186] thine heart [03820] to understanding [08394];
27 When your fear [06343] cometh [0935] as desolation [07722] [07584], and your destruction [0343] cometh [0857] as a whirlwind [05492]; when distress [06869] and anguish [06695] cometh [0935] upon you.
7 He layeth up [06845] [06845] sound wisdom [08454] for the righteous [03477]: he is a buckler [04043] to them that walk [01980] uprightly [08537].
20 I lead [01980] in the way [0734] of righteousness [06666], in the midst [08432] of the paths [05410] of judgment [04941]:
21 That I may cause those that love [0157] me to inherit [05157] substance [03426]; and I will fill [04390] their treasures [0214].
14 For the merchandise [05504] of it is better [02896] than the merchandise [05505] of silver [03701], and the gain [08393] thereof than fine gold [02742].
10 Receive [03947] my instruction [04148], and not silver [03701]; and knowledge [01847] rather than choice [0977] gold [02742].
9 Honour [03513] the LORD [03068] with thy substance [01952], and with the firstfruits [07225] of all thine increase [08393]:
18 She is a tree [06086] of life [02416] to them that lay hold [02388] upon her: and happy [0833] is every one that retaineth [08551] her.
19 My fruit [06529] is better [02896] than gold [02742], yea, than fine gold [06337]; and my revenue [08393] than choice [0977] silver [03701].
7 Lift up [05375] your heads [07218], O ye gates [08179]; and be ye lift up [05375], ye everlasting [05769] doors [06607]; and the King [04428] of glory [03519] shall come in [0935].
18 And her merchandise [05504] and her hire [0868] shall be holiness [06944] to the LORD [03068]: it shall not be treasured [0686] nor laid up [02630]; for her merchandise [05504] shall be for them that dwell [03427] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to eat [0398] sufficiently [07654], and for durable [06266] clothing [04374].
9 Whom shall he teach [03384] knowledge [01844]? and whom shall he make to understand [0995] doctrine [08052]? them that are weaned [01580] from the milk [02461], and drawn [06267] from the breasts [07699].
13 We shall find [04672] all precious [03368] substance [01952], we shall fill [04390] our houses [01004] with spoil [07998]:
16 Length [0753] of days [03117] is in her right hand [03225]; and in her left hand [08040] riches [06239] and honour [03519].
18 Riches [06239] and honour [03519] are with me; yea, durable [06276] riches [01952] and righteousness [06666].
28 Then shall they call [07121] upon me, but I will not answer [06030]; they shall seek me early [07836], but they shall not find [04672] me:
22 How long, ye simple ones [06612], will ye love [0157] simplicity [06612]? and the scorners [03887] delight [02530] in their scorning [03944], and fools [03684] hate [08130] knowledge [01847]?
10 My son [01121], if sinners [02400] entice [06601] thee, consent [014] thou not.
13 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is to hate [08130] evil [07451]: pride [01344], and arrogancy [01347], and the evil [07451] way [01870], and the froward [08419] mouth [06310], do I hate [08130].
1 To the chief Musician [05329] on Neginoth [05058], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Hear [06030] me when I call [07121], O God [0430] of my righteousness [06664]: thou hast enlarged [07337] me when I was in distress [06862]; have mercy [02603] upon me, and hear [08085] my prayer [08605].
2 O ye sons [01121] of men [0376], how long [05704] will ye turn my glory [03519] into shame [03639]? how long will ye love [0157] vanity [07385], and seek [01245] after leasing [03577]? Selah [05542].
3 But know [03045] that the LORD [03068] hath set apart [06395] him that is godly [02623] for himself: the LORD [03068] will hear [08085] when I call [07121] unto him.
4 Stand in awe [07264], and sin [02398] not: commune [0559] with your own heart [03824] upon your bed [04904], and be still [01826]. Selah [05542].
5 Offer [02076] the sacrifices [02077] of righteousness [06664], and put your trust [0982] in the LORD [03068].
6 There be many [07227] that say [0559], Who will shew [07200] us any good [02896]? LORD [03068], lift thou up [05375] the light [0216] of thy countenance [06440] upon us.
7 Thou hast put [05414] gladness [08057] in my heart [03820], more than in the time [06256] that their corn [01715] and their wine [08492] increased [07231].
8 I will both [03162] lay me down [07901] in peace [07965], and sleep [03462]: for thou, LORD [03068], only [0910] makest me dwell [03427] in safety [0983].
