10 Send her forth from your holy heavensand from your glorious throne dispatch herThat she may be with me and work with me,that I may know what is pleasing to you.
11 For she knows and understands all things,and will guide me prudently in my affairsand safeguard me by her glory;
12 Thus my deeds will be acceptable,and I will judge your people justlyand be worthy of my father’s throne.
13 For who knows God’s counsel,or who can conceive what the Lord intends?
14 For the deliberations of mortals are timid,and uncertain our plans.
15 For the corruptible body burdens the souland the earthly tent weighs down the mind with its many concerns.
16 Scarcely can we guess the things on earth,and only with difficulty grasp what is at hand;but things in heaven, who can search them out?
