I am Your servant – make me understand, That I might know Your witnesses.
O יהוה, I am truly Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant; You have loosed my bonds.
I have treasured up Your word in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
Remove from me the way of falsehood, And favour me with Your Torah.
Make me understand, that I might observe Your Torah, And guard it with all my heart.
Teach me good sense and knowledge, For I have trusted in Your commands.
I am Yours, save me; For I have sought Your orders.
Turn to me, and show favour to me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your female servant.
The wisdom of the clever is to understand His way, But the folly of fools is deceit.
The fear of יהוה is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding.
But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life.
Think over what I say, for the Master shall give you understanding into all this.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
