8
You told me to build a temple on your sacred mountain, an altar in Jerusalem, the city you chose as your home. It is a copy of that temple in heaven, which you prepared at the beginning.
9
Wisdom is with you and knows your actions; she was present when you made the world. She knows what pleases you, what is right and in accordance with your commands.
10
Send her from the holy heavens, down from your glorious throne, so that she may work at my side, and I may learn what pleases you.
11
She knows and understands everything, and will guide me intelligently in what I do. Her glory will protect me.
12
Then I will judge your people fairly, and be worthy of my father's throne. My actions will be acceptable.
