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,
6 because even a perfect humanis really nothingwithout Wisdom from you.
7 You have chosen me to ruleand judge your people,
8 and here, on your holy mountainin the city where you live,you have commanded me to buildan altar and a temple,just like that sacred templeyou made at the beginning.
