Proverbs 6:22

New Century Version

They will guide you when you walk. They will guard you when you sleep. They will speak to you when you are awake.

See the chapter Copy

Good sense will protect you; understanding will guard you.

I have taken your words to heart so I would not sin against you.

I stay awake all night so I can think about your promises.

How can a young person live a pure life? By obeying your word.

I sing about your demands wherever I live.

Your rules give me pleasure; they give me good advice.

Send me your light and truth to guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to where you live.

How I love your teachings! I think about them all day long.

I have obeyed your commands, so I have not done what evil people do.

Thousands of troops may surround me, but I am not afraid.
