⁸ Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

⁴ O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

⁵ Thus said Jehovah: Cursed `is' the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.

⁶ And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.

⁷ Blessed `is' the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

⁸ Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God `is' a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹ Only -- vanity `are' the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity `are' lighter.

⁵ Believe not in a friend, trust not in a leader, From her who is lying in thy bosom keep the openings of thy mouth.

⁶ For a son is dishonouring a father, A daughter hath stood against her mother, A daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, The enemies of each `are' the men of his house.

⁷ And I -- in Jehovah I do watch, I do wait for the God of my salvation, Hear me doth my God.
