Proverbs 3:26

New American Bible - revised edition

For the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from the snare.

See the chapter Copy

Is not your piety a source of confidence, and your integrity of life your hope?

He will not allow your foot to slip; or your guardian to sleep.

He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare, from the destroying plague,

The fear of the Lord is a strong defense, a refuge even for one’s children.

He guards the footsteps of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall perish in the darkness; for not by strength does one prevail.
