1
"O God of my fathers and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with Thy word,
2
and ordained man through Thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which Thou hast made,
3
and order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart,
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.
