Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
