Good H2896 and upright H3477 is the LORD: H3068 therefore will he teach H3384 sinners H2400 in the way. H1870 The meek H6035 will he guide H1869 in judgment: H4941 and the meek H6035 will he teach H3925 his way. H1870
NUN. Thy word H1697 is a lamp H5216 unto my feet, H7272 and a light H216 unto my path. H5410
Cause me to hear H8085 thy lovingkindness H2617 in the morning; H1242 for in thee do I trust: H982 cause me to know H3045 the way H1870 wherein H2098 I should walk; H3212 for I lift up H5375 my soul H5315 unto thee. Deliver H5337 me, O LORD, H3068 from mine enemies: H341 I flee unto thee to hide H3680 me. Teach H3925 me to do H6213 thy will; H7522 for thou art my God: H430 thy spirit H7307 is good; H2896 lead H5148 me into the land H776 of uprightness. H4334
To know H3045 wisdom H2451 and instruction; H4148 to perceive H995 the words H561 of understanding; H998 To receive H3947 the instruction H4148 of wisdom, H7919 justice, H6664 and judgment, H4941 and equity; H4339 To give H5414 subtilty H6195 to the simple, H6612 to the young man H5288 knowledge H1847 and discretion. H4209 A wise H2450 man will hear, H8085 and will increase H3254 learning; H3948 and a man of understanding H995 shall attain H7069 unto wise counsels: H8458 To understand H995 a proverb, H4912 and the interpretation; H4426 the words H1697 of the wise, H2450 and their dark sayings. H2420
And an highway H4547 shall be there, and a way, H1870 and it shall be called H7121 The way H1870 of holiness; H6944 the unclean H2931 shall not pass over H5674 it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, H1980 though fools, H191 shall not err H8582 therein.
Thus saith H559 the LORD, H3068 thy Redeemer, H1350 the Holy One H6918 of Israel; H3478 I am the LORD H3068 thy God H430 which teacheth H3925 thee to profit, H3276 which leadeth H1869 thee by the way H1870 that thou shouldest go. H3212
Thus saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Stand H5975 ye in the ways, H1870 and see, H7200 and ask H7592 for the old H5769 paths, H5410 where is the good H2896 way, H1870 and walk H3212 therein, and ye shall find H4672 rest H4771 for your souls. H5315 But they said, H559 We will not walk H3212 therein.
Enter ye in G1525 at G1223 the strait G4728 gate: G4439 for G3754 wide G4116 is the gate, G4439 and G2532 broad G2149 is the way, G3598 that leadeth G520 to G1519 destruction, G684 and G2532 many G4183 there be G1526 which G3588 go in G1525 thereat: G1223 G846 Because G3754 strait G4728 is the gate, G4439 and G2532 narrow G2346 is the way, G3598 which G3588 leadeth G520 unto G1519 life, G2222 and G2532 few G3641 there be G1526 that find G2147 it.
