Many women do noble things 

But you surpass them all 

Charm is deceptive 

Beauty is fleeting 

A woman who fears the Lord 

Is to be praised 



Give her the reward 

She has earned 

And let her works bring her praise 

At the city gate 

She is clothed with strength and dignity 

She can laugh at days to come 

She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction 

Is on her tongue
