A. 1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
B. 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
A. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
B. 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
A. 5-6a Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,
B. 6b and he shall direct thy paths.
A. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
B. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
A. 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
B. 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
