1 Merciful Lord Godof my ancestors,you created everythingby your word.
2 And by your Wisdom,you let us humans ruleall other creatures.
3 We are to be honest and fairin every decision,
4 so share with me the Wisdomthat sits beside your throne,and let me be a child of yours.
5 My mother was your servant,and so am I—a mere humanwhose life is short.I understand only a littleabout laws and judgments,
