Proverbs 6:22

The Scriptures 1998

When you are walking about, it leads you; When you lie down, it guards you. And when you have woken up, It talks to you.

See the chapter Copy

I have treasured up Your word in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

My eyes have gone before the night watches, To study Your word.

Your witnesses also are my delight, My counsellors.

Your laws have been my songs In the place of my sojournings.

How would a young man cleanse his path. To guard it according to Your word?

O how I love Your Torah! It is my study all day long.

As for the deeds of men – By the word of Your lips, I have kept myself from the paths of the destroyer.

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

Send forth Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me, Let them bring me to Your set-apart mountain And to Your dwelling places.

Discretion would guard you; Understanding would watch over you,
