Proverbs 3:5, 6 (KJ21)
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5, 6 (NAS)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5, 6 (NIVUS)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5, 6 (NLT)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.

The confidence that you have in the Lord Jehovah makes you bold and secure. In Him you can feel safe, without any cares. You know that you can entrust your whole heart--your mind, your will, your emotions, your memories, your reflections, your determination, your conscience, and your thoughts--into the strong hands of the Lord.

It is important that you do not trust in or lean upon your own understanding, discernment, or perceptions as your means of support. Your perception and discernment does not compare to the wisdom and insight that comes from the Lord your God. No matter what course your life takes, you should intentionally choose to acknowledge, recognize, and confess your need of the Lord.

When you continually strive to learn what Adonai's will is for you in each and every circumstance and event, He will always intentionally, and continually put you on the right path, a path that is level and smooth. You will walk uprightly and go straight ahead with esteem and approval. You will be pleasing and agreeable in His sight.
