¹² So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

⁴ May He grant you your heart's desire, And fulfill all your counsel.

⁸ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.

²¹ There are many plans in a man's heart, But Yahweh's counsel will prevail.

¹ For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.

⁴ Don't weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.

⁷ Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, Unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.

⁸ Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, For I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you.

²² Where there is no counsel, plans fail; But in a multitude of counselors they are established.

²⁸ For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

⁹ A man's heart plans his course, But Yahweh directs his steps.

⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

³¹ Don't envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.

³² For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, But his friendship is with the upright.

³³ Yahweh's curse is in the house of the wicked, But he blesses the habitation of the righteous.

²⁹ This also comes forth from Yahweh of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

¹⁰ But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

³ Commit your deeds to Yahweh, And your plans shall succeed.
