Recit.
My son, attend to my words,
incline thine ear unto my saying:
Honour the Lord with thy substance
and with the first fruits of all thine increase.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
and in all thy ways acknowledge Him.
Trust in the Lord,
trust in the Lord,
and in all thy ways acknowledge Him.
Recit.
My son, attend to my words,
incline thine ear unto my sayings:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
and in all thy ways acknowledge Him,
in all thy ways acknowledge Him.
For the path of the just is as a shining light
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day,
that shineth more and more to the perfect day!
My son, trust in the Lord.
