1. My son, forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2. For they shall add length of days and long life and peace unto thee.
3. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck; write them upon the tablet of thine heart:
4. So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man.
5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7. Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8. It shall be medicine to thy navel and marrow to thy bones.
