Wisdom 9:1

1 God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

Wisdom 9:1 In-Context

1 God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

2 And by thy wisdom hast appointed man, that he should have dominion over the creature that was made by thee,

3 That he should order the world according to equity and justice, and execute justice with an upright heart:

4 Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne, and cast me not off from among thy children:

5 For I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid, a weak man, and of short time, and falling short of the understanding of judgment and laws.
