Proverbs 6:22

New International Version

When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

See the chapter Copy

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.

Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.

Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge.

How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.

Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.

Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded.

I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
