HER HUSBAND SAFELY TRUSTS HER

HER HUSBAND SAFELY TRUSTS HER

She is a virtuous woman

What!
More precious than rubies

Wow!
Her husband safely trusts her

Sure
She has no need for a spoil.

Okay
She does him good, not evil
All the days of her life
Who can find such a woman?

She seeks provisions and delicacies

How?
With her hands, she works willingly
Like a merchant ship, she brings food from afar
While it is yet night, she feeds her household
Her maidens lack nothing.
Who can find such beauty?

With her hands, she considers a field
Carefully, she plants a vineyard
With strength, she girds her loins
Her hands are strong for the task
Her lamp never goes out at night
Her hands hold the spindle
The poor never sleep hungry
The needy lack nothing in her presence
She is a woman of valour

She is not afraid of the cold
For her household is clothed in scarlet
Her children sing like birds by the river
Her husband is respected on every street
Honoured among the elders
She stands like a queen of the land

She wears strength and honour
She rejoices in the days to come
Her mouth speaks with wisdom
Her tongue is home to kindness
She watches over her household with diligence
Idleness finds no place in her
Blessed is her name

Incomparable in virtue
Her excellence beats all excellence.
A mother of valour, whose works praise her
A woman with God at heart
Give her the pearls of love
