Proverbs 16:3

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Commit thy works unto Jehovah, And thy purposes shall be established." — Proverbs 16:3 (ASV)

Commit - literally, as in the margin, as a man transfers a burden from his own back to one stronger and better able to bear it. Compare the margin reference.

Your thoughts - that is, the plans or counsels from which the works spring.
