Sixpence None The Richer - "Trust"
(Based on Proverbs 3:5-6)


Proverbs Chapter 3

1] My son, forget not my teaching, keep in mind my commands;
2] For many days, and years of life, and peace, will they bring you.
3] Let not kindness and fidelity leave you; bind them around your neck;
4] Then will you win favor and good esteem before God and man.
5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not;
6] In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.
7] Be not wise in your own eyes, fear the LORD and turn away from evil;
8] This will mean health for your flesh and vigor for your bones.
9] Honor the LORD with your wealth, with first fruits of all your produce;
10] Then will your barns be filled with grain, with new wine your vats will overflow.
11] The discipline of the LORD, my son, disdain not; spurn not his reproof;
12] For whom the LORD loves he reproves, and he chastises the son he favors.
13] Happy the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding!
14] For her profit is better than profit in silver, and better than gold is her revenue;
15] She is more precious than corals, and none of your choice possessions can compare with her.
16] Long life is in her right hand, in her left are riches and honor;
17] Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace;
18] She is a tree of life to those who grasp her, and he is happy who holds her fast.
19] The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, established the heavens by understanding;
20] By his knowledge the depths break open, and the clouds drop down dew.
21] My son, let not these slip out of your sight: keep advice and counsel in view;
22] So will they be life to your soul, and an adornment for your neck.
23] Then you may securely go your way; your foot will never stumble;
24] When you lie down, you need not be afraid, when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
25] Be not afraid of sudden terror, of the ruin of the wicked when it comes;
26] For the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from the snare.
27] Refuse no one the good on which he has a claim when it is in your power to do it for him.
28] Say not to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give," when you can give at once.
29] Plot no evil against your neighbor, against him who lives at peace with you.
30] Quarrel not with a man without cause, with one who has done you no harm.
31] Envy not the lawless man and choose none of his ways:
32] To the LORD the perverse man is an abomination, but with the upright is his friendship.
33] The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but the dwelling of the just he blesses;
34] When he is dealing with the arrogant, he is stern, but to the humble he shows kindness.
35] Honor is the possession of wise men, but fools inherit shame.
