Proverbs 6:22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.

See the chapter Copy

I treasure your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against you.

My eyes are awake before each watch of the night, that I may meditate on your promise.

Your decrees are my delight; they are my counselors.

Your statutes have been my songs wherever I make my home.

How can young people keep their way pure? By guarding it according to your word.

Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all day long.

As for what others do, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.

O send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.

prudence will watch over you, and understanding will guard you.
