Proverbs 16:9

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.

and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”

Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.

But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
