4. Give me Wisdom, the consort at your throne,and do not reject me from among your children;
5. For I am your servant, the child of your maidservant,a man weak and short-livedand lacking in comprehension of judgment and of laws.
6. Indeed, though one be perfect among mortals,if Wisdom, who comes from you, be lacking,that one will count for nothing.
7. You have chosen me king over your peopleand magistrate over your sons and daughters.
8. You have bid me build a temple on your holy mountainand an altar in the city that is your dwelling place,a copy of the holy tabernacle which you had established from of old.
9. Now with you is Wisdom, who knows your worksand was present when you made the world;Who understands what is pleasing in your eyesand what is conformable with your commands.
10. Send her forth from your holy heavensand from your glorious throne dispatch herThat she may be with me and work with me,that I may know what is pleasing to you.
