yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding,
Only may the Lord give you insight and understanding and give you charge over Israel so you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
I am Your servant; give me understanding, so that I may know Your testimonies.
Let my cry come before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your word.
Give me understanding, so that I may keep Your law, and observe it with my whole heart.
Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding;
if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures,
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Listen, my sons, to the instruction of a father, and be attentive, that you may gain understanding,
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.
