Teth. Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah, According to Thy word. The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed. Before I am afflicted, I -- I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept. read more.
Good Thou art, and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes. Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts. Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I -- in Thy law I have delighted. Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes. Better to me is the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold. For better is wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it. I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out. read more.
The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated. Mine is counsel and substance, I am understanding, I have might. By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness, By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth. I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me. Wealth and honour are with me, Lasting substance and righteousness. Better is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.
