4 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?Who has gathered the wind in His fists?Who has bound the waters in a garment?Who has established all the ends of the earth?What is His name, and what is His Son’s name,If you know?
5 Every word of God is pure;He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 Do not add to His words,Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things I request of You(Deprive me not before I die):
8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me;Give me neither poverty nor riches—Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9 Lest I be full and deny You,And say, “Who is the Lord?”Or lest I be poor and steal,And profane the name of my God.
10 Do not malign a servant to his master,Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
