1 My son, forget not my law; but let thy heart keep my commandments;
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thy heart:
4 So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thy heart; and lean not to thy own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thy own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
