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.
9 Wisdom has always been with you.She knows your mighty deeds,and she was therewhen you created the world.Wisdom knows what pleases you,and she knows what is rightaccording to your commands.
10 So from your glorious and holythrone in the heavens,please send Wisdomto work beside me and teach mewhat is pleasing to you.
