6. For even if a man be perfect among the sons of men, Yet if the wisdom that comes from you be not with him, he shall be held in no account.
7. You did choose me before my brethren to be king of your people, And to do judgement for your sons and daughters.
8. You gave command to build a sanctuary in your holy mountain, And an altar in the city of your habitation, A copy of the holy tabernacle which you prepared beforehand from the beginning.
9. And with you is wisdom, which knows your works, And was present when you were making the world, And which understands what is pleasing in your eyes, And what is right according to your commandments.
10. Send her forth out of the holy heavens, And from the throne of your glory bid her come, That being present with me she may toil with me, And that I may learn what is well-pleasing before you.
11. For she knows all things and has understanding thereof, And in my doings she shall guide me in ways of soberness, And she shall guard me in her glory.
