Father, I do not forget your teaching. My heart keeps your commandments, and length of days and years of life and peace are added to me. I hold on to your steadfast love and faithfulness. I bind them around my neck. I write them on the tablet of my heart. With that I find favor and good success in your sight, father, and in the sight of man.
I trust in you, Lord, with all my heart. I do not lean on my own understanding. In all my ways I acknowledge you, father, and you make my path straight. I am not wise in my own eyes. I fear you, Lord, and turn away from evil. That is healing to my flesh and refreshment to my bones. I honor you, Lord, with my wealth and the first fruits of all my produce; my barns are filled with plenty and my vats are bursting with wine!
