Here the "heart" represents the person's feelings or emotions. AT: "make me feel joyful" or "make me glad" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
then I will give back an answer to the one who mocks me
Here "answer" does not mean to answer a question. It means to respond or to reply to someone who is mocking. How this relates to the clause before it can be made clear. AT "then I will reply to the one who mocks me by telling him about you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
mocks
makes fun of someone, especially in a cruel way
A prudent man sees trouble and hides himself, but the naive people go on and suffer because of it
See how you translated a similar phrase in Proverbs 22:3.

the naive people
"the inexperienced and immature people"
