4Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son`s name, if thou knowest?
5Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.
6Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me [them] not before I die:
8Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:
9Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.
10Slander not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
