2 For length of days, and long life, And peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding In the sight of God and man.

These first two verses are my heart for you seniors as you head out into the world.
1 My son, forget not my law; But let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, And peace, shall they add to thee.
Take what you have learned in youth
or more specifically keep the Word of God that has been spoken to you
In them you will find life & fullness of joy.

Psalm 16:11
This fellowship takes place in the Word of God.
v. 3-4 Let Truth Be Your Guide
Allow the truth of the word of God to be your guide in life.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding In the sight of God and man.
Do no forsake truth and mercy, on the contrary write them on the table of your heart.
In doing so you will find favor and understanding in the sight of God and man.
97 MEM. O how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: For they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: For thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, Because I keep thy precepts.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: Love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding.
Take the Word of God and run with it.
As a result you will be in fellowship with Jesus and will live life with passion and purpose.
v. 5-6 Lean on Jesus
Write these verses upon the table of your heart.
Live by them
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.
make a pact with yourself that you will not compromise in trusting the Lord and His ways.
You do not have to know everything, He does.
Sometimes it wont make sense, yet He holds you in His hands.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts than your thoughts.
He is sovereign over all, don’t think you know better.
Society will tell you the Word of God is out dated, etc..
Choose to trust the Lord and He will lead you perfectly.
You are incapable of doing it apart from Jesus.
John 15:
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Again,
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.
