⁹ The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.

¹ Of man `are' arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.

²¹ Many `are' the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.

²³ From Jehovah `are' the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

²⁴ From Jehovah `are' the steps of a man, And man -- how understandeth he his way?

²³ I have known, O Jehovah, that not of man `is' his way, Not of man the going and establishing of his step.

¹⁰ Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, `My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'

³⁰ There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.
