WORDS OF WISDOM

Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:

8
Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.

9
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
