Proverbs 20:27-29
New King James Version

27 (A)The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the [a]inner depths of his heart.

28 (B)Mercy and truth preserve the king,
And by [b]lovingkindness he upholds his throne.

29 The glory of young men is their strength,
And (C)the splendor of old men is their gray head.
