1 O God of the fathers, and Lord who keep your mercy, Who made all things by your word;
2 And by your wisdom you formedst man, That he should have dominion over the creatures that were made by you,
3 And rule the world in holiness and righteousness, And execute judgement in uprightness of soul;
4 Give me wisdom, her that sits by you on your throne; And reject me not from among your servants:
