4
Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:
5
For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.
6
For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.
7
Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:
8
Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.
