11 I will praise your name continually,and I will sing thanksgiving hymns."My prayer was heard,
12 because you saved me from destructionand you rescued me from an evil time.For this, I will give thanks, praise you,and bless the Lord’s name.
13 When I was still young,before I had traveled,I sought Wisdom openly in my prayer.
14 In front of the temple, I asked for her,and I will search for her until I die.
15 From the first blossomto the ripening of the grape clusters,my heart delighted in her;I walked in straight paths;I chased her down from my youth.
16 I paid a little attention, and I received herand found much instruction for myself.
17 I made progress with her;I will give glory to the onewho gives me Wisdom.
