1  My son, forget not my teaching; but let thy heart keep my commandments;

1  My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart guard my precepts.

2  For length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to thee.

2  For they shall set before you length of days, and years of life, and peace.

2  For the length of days and long life will they add to you;

3  Let not kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thy heart;

3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; but bind them about thy neck

3  And peace, mercy, and truth will not forsake you; bind them about your neck; write them upon the tablets of your heart

4  So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man.

4  And so shall you discover grace and good discipline, in the sight of God and men.

5  Trust in YHWH with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.

5  Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.

6  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.

6  In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her, that she may rightly direct thy paths.

6  In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.
