He has salvation stored up for the upright, he is a breastplate to those in whom there is no evil;
Every word of God is tested: he is a breastplate to those who put their faith in him.
The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.
As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.
But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:
He whose ways are upright will be safe, but sudden will be the fall of him whose ways are twisted.
The wisdom of the man of good sense makes his way clear; but the unwise behaviour of the foolish is deceit.
In whom are all the secret stores of wisdom and knowledge.
He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people.
But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.
Wise design and good sense are mine; reason and strength are mine.
The great beasts have not gone over it, and the cruel lion has not taken that way.
I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. Selah.
