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.
Lean on God, not on your own understanding, and He will make your path clear.

KJVProverbs 16:9 in context
6By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. 7When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. 9A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. 10A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. 11A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are his work. 12It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
