Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: Thy blessing is upon Thy people. Selah.

Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord.

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
