⁵ Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.

⁵ Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.

⁷ A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

²⁶ He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe.

³ Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.

⁸ Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

² See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.

²³ O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.

³ The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.

⁴ Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.

³ Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

⁴ Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

⁵ Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

⁷ Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

¹⁸ Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:

²⁰ And again, The Lord has knowledge of the reasonings of the wise, that they are nothing.

⁷ Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:

²³ This is the word of the Lord: Let not the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the strong man in his strength, or the man of wealth in his wealth:

¹ <A Song of the going up.> Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

¹⁹ So that your faith may be in the Lord, I have made them clear to you this day, even to you.

¹⁶ Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.
