ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Agree with God, and be at peace;

thereby good will come to you.

Receive instruction from his mouth,

and lay up his words in your heart.

If you return to the Almighty you will be built up;

if you remove injustice far from your tents,

if you lay gold in the dust,

and gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,

then the Almighty will be your gold

and your precious silver.

For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty

and lift up your face to God.

You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you,

and you will pay your vows.

You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,

and light will shine on your ways.

For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;

but he saves the lowly.

He delivers even the one who is not innocent,

who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Come to terms with God and be at peace;

in this way good will come to you.

Receive instruction from his mouth,

and place his sayings in your heart.

If you return to the Almighty, you will be renewed.

If you banish injustice from your tent

and consign your gold to the dust,

the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,

the Almighty will be your gold

and your finest silver.

Then you will delight in the Almighty

and lift up your face to God.

You will pray to him, and he will hear you,

and you will fulfill your vows.

When you make a decision, it will be carried out,

and light will shine on your ways.

When others are humiliated and you say, “Lift them up,”

God will save the humble.

He will even rescue the guilty one,

who will be rescued by the purity of your hands.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Submit to God, and you will have peace;

then things will go well for you.

Listen to his instructions,

and store them in your heart.

If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored—

so clean up your life.

If you give up your lust for money

and throw your precious gold into the river,

the Almighty himself will be your treasure.

He will be your precious silver!

“Then you will take delight in the Almighty

and look up to God.

You will pray to him, and he will hear you,

and you will fulfill your vows to him.

You will succeed in whatever you choose to do,

and light will shine on the road ahead of you.

If people are in trouble and you say, ‘Help them,’

God will save them.

Even sinners will be rescued;

they will be rescued because your hands are pure.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Please reconcile yourself with him,

and be at peace; in this way, good will come to you.

Please receive instruction from his mouth,

and place his words in your heart.

If you return to Shaddai, you will be restored;

if you remove wickedness from your tent,

and if you put gold ore in the dust,

and the gold of Ophir in the rock of wadis,

then Shaddai will be your gold ore

and your precious silver.

Indeed, then you will delight yourself in Shaddai,

and you will expect that God will be good to you.

You will pray to him, and he will hear you,

and you will pay your vows.

And you will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,

and light will shine on your ways.

When they are humiliated, you say, ‘It is pride,’

for he saves the humble.

He will deliver the guilty,

and he will escape because of the cleanness of your hands.”

KJV 1900King James Version

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:

Thereby good shall come unto thee.

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth,

And lay up his words in thine heart.

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,

Thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust,

And the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence,

And thou shalt have plenty of silver.

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty,

And shalt lift up thy face unto God.

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee,

And thou shalt pay thy vows.

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee:

And the light shall shine upon thy ways.

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up;

And he shall save the humble person.

He shall deliver the island of the innocent:

And it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
