Admonition to Trust and Honour God

3My child, do not forget my teaching,
   but let your heart keep my commandments;
²for length of days and years of life
   and abundant welfare they will give you.

⁵Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
   and do not rely on your own insight.
⁶In all your ways acknowledge him,
   and he will make straight your paths.
⁷Do not be wise in your own eyes;
   fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
⁸It will be a healing for your flesh
   and a refreshment for your body.
