Praying with Scripture: Solomon's prayer for wisdom. 3/3

Text: Wisdom 9:9-11

9

With you is wisdom, she who knows your works

and was present when you made the world;

she understands what is pleasing in your sight

and what is right according to your commandments.

10

Send her forth from the holy heavens,

and from the throne of your glory send her,

that she may labor at my side,

and that I may learn what is pleasing to you.

11

For she knows and understands all things,

and she will guide me wisely in my actions

and guard me with her glory.
